Literally countless of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great pros" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

Chris Ferguson
