Literally huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney payouts 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 Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in 2003.
