No Joke, huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Even though "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 game!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tournament earnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker 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 Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they will be able to advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his successes coming in 2003. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
