Beyond a doubt huge amounts of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Granted "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 competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney winnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen

He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three.
