Beyond a doubt countless of individuals are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "nice pros" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from 2000 to 2004 he ranked in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
