No Joke, huge amounts of players want to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "nice players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained two highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
