We all had our individual talents and varying degrees of raw talent and he patiently worked with us and brought out the poker player within....which in many cases was an exhausting endeavor for him
While he may not spend a whole lot of time here answering post after post, he has always remained loyal to FTR and it's members.... if you seek him out and are serious about developing as a player he will always lend you a helping hand....accompanied by a bit of pontification. Anyway there are a lot of prominent and helpful members that would and should qualify as member of the year....but there is only one that selflessly turned me into a pro....and for that I am forever grateful.
I'm not quite as far along as dav, but my feelings mirror his, for the same reasons.
