No Joke, huge amounts of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
