No Joke, countless of players want to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu

In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they could improve their own game.
