No Joke, millions of players want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "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 competition!
