For those of you who don’t know me, I am a 68-year old amateur part-time tournament player. I began playing tournament poker in earnest in the 1990’s and even though my family life and full time job as a lawyer left me time to play only a dozen tournaments a year, I had just begun to enjoy some modest success when the internet poker boom hit.

Recently I had the pleasure of answering some questions for Online Poker News, India. I thought this was a fun interview and I wanted to share it with you. Here are the questions: Read More
In this video blog from Prague, I discuss a huge fold I made during day 2 of my most recent EPT tournament that allowed me to make a deep run and cash for $10,500. I also play a little online poker for you to watch. I even attempt a big river bluff!
In this short video blog, I discuss the ups and downs I have experienced so far while playing the WPT, EPT and online Prague.

Whenever I am in the middle of any sort of significant downswing, I make a point to study the technical aspects of the game as much as possible while also seeing if anything else is going wrong with my game.
In this blog post, I will discuss how poker tells helped me claw out of my biggest downswing to date and also list ways you can use tells to improve your game.
I recently found myself in an interesting situation in the $1,500 bounty event at the Best Bet in Jacksonville Florida where I was unsure about the ideal play.

Since top pair is the most common “value” hand you will make after the flop, it is important to fully understand how to play it. Despite the frequency with which you make top pair, most amateur players misplay this holding on a regular basis. It is important to realize that all top pairs are not created equal.
My view in Melbourne
As most of you know, I spent all of October, 2014 in Australia. I decided to make the trip to play the WSOP APAC events even though EPT London, which turned out to be a much larger tournament, was going on at roughly the same time. I decided to travel much farther to Australia because Amie, my fiancée, wanted to take a vacation to Australia and I figure
d this would be our only opportunity to make the trip any time soon. Our plan was for me to arrive on 10/1 and for Amie to come after the poker tournament was finished, along with one of her friends.
This is fairly random and unexpected, but Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker Volume 2 has a cameo in the first episode of the new HBO series Sonic Highways by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters! While I don’t listen to much rock anymore, I used to listen to their music all the time and I still have a few of their albums on my iPhone. How cool!
