No Joke, millions and millions of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "charming guys" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen

He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad defeat. 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 wins happening in 2003.
