Literally countless 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 players" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu

In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer

He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three.
