Literally millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "nice guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen

Chris Ferguson
