Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming pros" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of 100 events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
