No Joke, huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts amounted to more than $4.4 million and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

His achievements have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox.

Scotty Nguyen

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
