Literally huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with 2 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they could improve 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. As of 2005, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded $5 million.
