Literally countless of people are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to more than $4.4 million and he captured 2 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 speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.

As of 2006, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson
