Looking ahead, we are eager to see our new moderators bring their unique assets to their respective forums and encourage you to visit them to say hello and join their discussions. The new guys: IowaSkinsFan (High Stakes NLH), Massimo (Heads-Up NLH), Lukie (Playing the Player), jyms (Online Poker Rooms), nutsinho (Short-Handed NLH) and bigspenda73 (Omaha Strategies).
