Literally millions of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming players" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in the region of $4.4 million and he won two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
