Literally millions and millions of people want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they can advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred competitions. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
