Beyond a doubt 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 "great players" 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" up until they have put you out of the competition!
