Literally millions and millions of individuals want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "great pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

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

Chris Ferguson
