No Joke, millions of individuals strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming players" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to in the region of 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
