Beyond a doubt millions of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice players" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.

He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
