Beyond a doubt countless of people want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
