No Joke, countless of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 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 removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his competition payouts amounted to more than $4.4 million and he came away with two highly 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 chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life earnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
