Beyond a doubt huge amounts of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected 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 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
