No Joke, huge amounts of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
