4 of Poker’s Nice Players
No Joke, huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he came away with two highly 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
