Beyond a doubt millions of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "charming guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
