Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they can advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
