Literally huge amounts of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he placed in the money in more than 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five 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 toss playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
