Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they could advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and between 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
