Literally millions of players want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "charming players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu

In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they might boost their own game.

As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
