Practice, practice, practice! I've read a few poker books also.Dan Harrington's books, Phil Gordon's Little Green Book, and of course Super System. I got the most from Phil Gordon's book tho
.

I don't usually play the first few hands unless I have something really good. I like to get a feel for the table and players.

#16 If their wasn't Poker, what would you be doing?

Something to do with music....other than my children, it's my life. I've got music going pretty much 24/7.
