Beyond a doubt millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice guys" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he won two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.

As of 2006, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
