Beyond a doubt millions and millions of individuals want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "charming guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
