No Joke, millions of players strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition payouts amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
