Literally millions of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "nice players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu
