No Joke, huge amounts of players strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming players" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in excess of 100 competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
