Four of Poker’s Charming Players
Beyond a doubt millions of people are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts amounted to more than 4.4 million dollars and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they could advance their own game.
