No Joke, millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "charming guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition payouts added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he came away with 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in more than 100 events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
