Literally millions and millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "nice pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings amounted to in the region of $4.4 million and he attained two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they might improve their own game.

As of 2006, his career winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
