A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Players
Literally huge amounts of people want to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated 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 Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they might improve their own game.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost 6 million dollars.
