With the pocker party codes tournament just around the corner, I don't want to keep you. as its Southwestern United States area representative." That's quite an honor. Before I could speak up, Frank Gish was standing there and he says, "I'll lay you 40-to-1." I was gonna lay her 200-to-1, but she took Frank's offer for a little bit of money. Cleveland's Feller, as your readers may know, was the best pitcher of his time. Ambition? More clean food at the tournaments. I concluded that with my $26,000 in the pot, along with the antes, blinds and other bets, the pot was juicy enough for one of them to try and take it right there... especially if either had A-K or a good sized pair (say 10-10, J-J, Q-Q, or K-K).

I have heard that you have had a tremendously varied and interesting life. Who are the full tilt pocker players you most respect? A capability to maintain focus. The Internet is a "salon in ether."

Bach cello suites, Chopin Etudes and Nocturnes, STicky Fingers,, modal Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Hendrix, the Pogues before they kicked out Shane MacGowan, Elvis C., Dylan (very early and very late), Neil Young, the Del Fuegos, Liz Phair, Cassandra Wilson, In Utero, Lee Morgan, Louis Armstrong, CHronos Quartet, Pumpkins, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Lucinda Williams (electric, please), Willie Nelson, Beethoven chamber music, Glenn Gould playing Bach, Van Morrison, Let It Bleed, a few of the "John" Beatles songs, soundtrack to Dead Man Walking, Maria Callas, Astor Piazzola, Kevin Vollens, Bill Frisell. He began working on this idea for a better tournament structure eight years ago.

I came into a large amount of money through by winning a big blackjack tournament. Yep, I did the exact opposite of what I had planned to do. I enjoy using my mind and became very interested in learning about the game and mastering it as best I could. And he could trust me. He can play. With the popularity of the no-limit tournaments that we spread at Stratosphere, we were able to have a baby no-limit game.
