Literally countless of individuals are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
