Literally millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "nice pros" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!

As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
