Literally millions and millions of players strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming players" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with 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. He still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total poker tournament winnings exceeded five million dollars.
