Literally millions of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming guys" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in the region of $4.4 million and he won two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 and 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
