No Joke, huge amounts of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "nice pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition payouts amounted to more than $4.4 million and he captured two immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.

His achievements have allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV.

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