Four of Poker’s Great Pros
No Joke, millions and millions of individuals strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "great guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected 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
