No Joke, countless of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to more than $4.4 million and he came away with two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over 100 competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
