4 of Poker’s Charming Players
Literally countless of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "nice guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he won two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer

As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
