No Joke, huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "nice players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition payouts added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he attained two highly respected 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 still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in excess of 100 competitions.

As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
