No Joke, countless of people are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "nice guys" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they could improve their own game.

His achievements have allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV.
