No Joke, huge amounts of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "nice pros" of the game. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
