Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "charming pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely 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 appointed Card Player's Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they will be able to advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold'em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that's poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
