No Joke, huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "big-time thing" 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’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
