Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming players" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 and 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
