Literally huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in the region of $4.4 million and he won two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003.
