No Joke, huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming guys" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated 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 competition earnings amounted to in the region of 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer

He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
