Beyond a doubt countless of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament payouts 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 Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
