No Joke, huge amounts of individuals want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming players" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition payouts added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
