Beyond a doubt millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "charming pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they might boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "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. As of 2005, his total life winnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of one hundred tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
