Literally countless of people strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to more than $4.4 million and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are almost six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
