Literally millions of people want to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "nice pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected 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 competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tournament earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he won 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
