4 of Poker’s Charming Guys
No Joke, huge amounts of people strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings amounted to in the region of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional poker 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

He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
