No Joke, millions of individuals are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "charming players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he won two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three.
