No Joke, millions and millions of players strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming guys" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament payouts added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he won two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss 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.
