A Couple of of Poker’s Great Pros
No Joke, millions of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
