Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "charming guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he attained 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
