Beyond a doubt millions of individuals strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice guys" of the game.

Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they might boost their own game.
