Literally millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four 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’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
