Beyond a doubt huge amounts of individuals are trying 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. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to in the region of $4.4 million and he attained 2 immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen

He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
