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

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they will be able to 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 holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
