Literally huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he attained 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak with his admirers 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 achievements have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
