No Joke, huge amounts of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in well over 100 tournaments.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three.
