No Joke, huge amounts of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he won two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they could boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of 100 tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad beat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in 2003.
