No Joke, millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
