Literally countless of individuals are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from 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 winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained two immensely 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. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to 2004 he placed in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
