No Joke, huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming guys" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to more than $4.4 million and he came away with 2 immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
