Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "nice guys" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to in the region of $4.4 million and he captured two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three.
