A Couple of of Poker’s Charming Players
Literally countless of people are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney winnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he won 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year.
