Literally millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of the game. Despite the fact that "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 payouts amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he won two highly 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 Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox.

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 beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
