Beyond a doubt millions and millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "nice pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
