Literally huge amounts of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "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 complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to 2004 he placed in the money in more than 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
