Thank you, I feel very strongly that that is the case as well.

Thank you, I feel very strongly that that is the case as well.
I would say I was pretty patient before poker, but holding every job in a poker room, really helped me learn to see different sides of every issue. I've always felt like treating other employees with...
Not at all. I do not believe the new universal rules are too limiting. I feel that amateur players should be treated the same as the pros. For the benefit of the game, all players should be treated...
On occasion, my kids do travel with us. I usually try to add a little extra time on to see the sights. My children are great. They keep up in their schoolwork, and we have a great family here to...
I have always been passionate about my job, and I take it very seriously. What really bothers me, is when players feel that we are doing the TDA for our own benefits. And I actually took great...
As a player, you paid an entry fee. So I think it is your responsibility to call the clock, if you feel that somebody is playing too slow.
The new rule number 2, regarding player responsibility is what I believe is the most interesting development.
Most definitely, as a TD it is our duty to make rulings in the best interests of a...
The thing I'd like to see in poker more than anything else is for players to play faster.
People always seem to think that it is easy to put on these major events. I would love to see some of the top tournament players as Poker Tournament Director for the day.
I would say online poker is an important facet of the great game of poker. It is very important for the sustainability of the game, and I hope online poker becomes legal in the US as soon as...
Cell phones I believe are here to stay, and while I feel that that is the case, I think there will become a point where safeguards will need to be in place for the protection of the players.
I...
The ability to shut down all cell phones for one week.
I would say I am for personal choice and freedom.
I'd like to go to Spain and Brazil. I have not been given the chance to go to either...
The most challenging event for me is the LA Poker Classic. It is 68 events over 45 days.
I would say I would like some sort of event in Canada, as I admire their extreme passion for poker.
$4,000 on a weight bet. I lost by half a pound when I did not go to the sauna, because I thought I had won already.
I would say the mix games, as many players only play those games once a year...
I know many winning poker players. Most of them play both cash and tournament poker, and know the level of game in which they are going to succeed, and they stick to it.
I learned to play poker like many other people did-on the kitchen table, playing with relatives at the family gatherings.
I first got into poker by losing all my money playing 2-4 and 3-6 High-low...
I feel the new TDA rules will impact our European market quite a bit because some of the rules have changed in the best interest of standardization, so that the players know what to expect.
I'd say yes. I look for Season 12 on the WPT to be the most exciting yet so far. We are constantly revamping the show to keep it fresh and exciting. I also think my interview skills have improved...
I only went for a short time to college. Most of my experience comes from working every month since the age of 14. I feel education is fairly important in anything, but I feel my work and effort in...
Yes. two events-1500 Omaha 8 or better, in which I finished very early on day one, and the 1500 stunt 8 or better, in which I finished 22nd out of 558 players for $57,023. So 50% in the money isn't...
If it wasnt for the poker industry, Im sure I would be in some sort of service industry, as I really enjoy working with people.
I will support my son in anything he wants to do, as long as he can...
I love my job. Being involved in every part of the tour-including the interviews-has been a lot of fun.
Don't really have a TV series, as I never seem to have enough time to get really involved
Shawshank redemption. However, my favorite Poker movie is Lucky You. Please go out and rent it today! :)
I liked Game of Thrones up until the dragons were born.
Each day's exciting.
Yes, but with technology these days, you're never really too far away.
My two passions outside of poker are playing golf and watching the San José Sharks on the Power Play
