1. Who is the guy that created the FTR website? Is it Xianti? Praise is due for whoever it is, reading the "proof is in the profit" statements convinced me to switch from limit to NL and I dont see myself ever looking back!
no idea
2. If everyone stays in till the river in 7-card stud, how the heck do they deal it? There just aint enough damn cards in the deck to give everyone their final card.
communal card

3. Is anyone in this forum a professional poker player? By that I mean plays poker for a living? Would be interesting to hear stories about it and whether or not they make most of their living from online or brick and mortar.
I dont play it professionally yet as too young (in university). Though I do make a crapload of money plaing poker. Would like to in the future
4. Do professional poker players have shorter life expectancies than your average joe? I mean c'mon, all those bad beats when your salary is on the line cant be good for your health.
In supersystem Brunson tells a story about how in a game of draw lowball
some guy got the best possible hand (2-3-4-5-7) and had a heart attack when he won the pot.

5. If a deck of cards gets shuffled by a deaf man in the woods and nobody else is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
no idea
