No Joke, huge amounts of individuals want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he attained two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox.

Scotty Nguyen

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
