A Couple of of Poker’s Nice Pros
No Joke, millions of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "charming players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!

In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they could improve their own game.
