No Joke, huge amounts of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tournament earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely 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 chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they might boost their own game.
