4 of Poker’s Great Pros
Literally huge amounts of players strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming guys" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
