No Joke, millions and millions of people want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming guys" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 and 2004 he finished in the money in more than one hundred events. 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 beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three.
