Literally millions of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he won two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they could advance 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 also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
