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

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
