Beyond a doubt huge amounts of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Although "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 game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition 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 boost 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 educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament winnings exceeded $5 million.
