No Joke, huge amounts of players want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "charming pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing 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 tournament payouts amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 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 named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in poker and from 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in well over one hundred events. He is notorious 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 winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded five million dollars.
