Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice players" of poker. Granted "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 earnings amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen

He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
