No Joke, huge amounts of players strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in more than 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
