I'm 100% video poker (Double Double Bonus). I've played the tables (blackjack) only once in the last 5 years. Didn't really care for it. VP is a lot more fun. Of course, when you're about $22K ahead of the casino in the last 2 years, that helps.

I don't remember the details of the hand against SK. Was there a possible flush?

Yeah, that was his name, Sentil Kumar, I just rewatched it since I Tivo'd it after I saw you and another guy that I used to see playing poker every once in awhile at my local casino both in the show. SK actually had a open-ended straight-flush draw, but 2 of his clubs were under so you really wouldn't have known that I don't think. And then you checked and SK bet and you called him. Then the commentators said you should have either bet off the bat or raised or folded, instead of just calling him. They also mentioned you are the #5 poker player in the world, but you only started playing poker like 2 years ago..................damn, you're good!!!!! And then you had a few funny quotes in your interview like: "I play optimal strategy according to the book so theoretically I should win everytime I play".

But if you want a tape of the show, shoot me a PM and let me know. I just got Tivo and since I Tivo'ed the show, I can record it to tape no problem, especially now that I have all these useless VCR tapes hanging around that I now have no use for..................... @:-)

And to think that I was interested in the FT Poker tournament that I read about in the TalkMail that was held awhile ago. Good thing I found out that you were #5 ranked before signing up for one of those. You probably cleaned everyone's clock in the FT tournies, huh???

All the more fortunate for me that both of us like to go.

It's just a little better than Ivory Soap (99.44% pure).
