Literally huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "nice pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!

In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
