No Joke, millions and millions of individuals strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "charming pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them 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 tournament winnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he came away with 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
