I recently had the pleasure to meet Victor Ramdin and former WSOP Main Event winner Tom McEvoy at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.

Ramdin, a relative newcomer who got down to the last three tables of the Main Event in 2003 shortly after learning the game, has flown 17 children out of his country of birth, Guyana, for specialist heart treatment, while Tom, a complete gentleman who has never picked up a penalty for bad behaviour at the table, has been a well-known face on the circuit for years. It just goes to show you can be successful in the game without giving your entire life over to it or making the headlines for the wrong reasons.

The reason these two pros stood out so much in the Bahamas was because of the attitude of so many other players.
