Beyond a doubt countless of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu

In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they might boost their own game.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
