Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
