No Joke, millions and millions of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "nice guys" of poker. Granted "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 competition!
