No Joke, millions and millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "nice players" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!

In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they could boost their own game.
