No Joke, countless of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming guys" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 to 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
