Literally millions of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice guys" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament payouts amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen

He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three.
