Literally huge amounts of players strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "charming pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they could advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 and 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three.
