No Joke, millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming players" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his competition winnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they will be able to advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 and 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in 2003.
