Beyond a doubt countless of people strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 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 appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 and 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
