No Joke, millions and millions of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming guys" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he captured two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
