Literally countless of players are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tournament winnings exceeded $5 million.
