Literally millions and millions of people want to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "nice players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
