Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
