No Joke, 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 connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament payouts added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
