No Joke, countless of players are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of one hundred events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
