Literally huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they could improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are almost six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney earnings exceeded $5 million.
