Literally millions of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred 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 beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
