What poker game do you prefer? And Do you have some free poker lessons that will help us to become better players?

Who is your favorite player to watch today (male and female)? When did you realize that people could actually make some money with this game? When did you realize you could make a good living in poker? What’s the biggest prop bet you’ve ever made and did you win it? What games still offer good players the biggest edge in bigger live tournaments like the WSOP? When stars talk about the "biggest" games, to what limits are they generally referring in your opinion? Other than "play, play, play", what advice would you give someone hoping to become a great player? Any recommended reading? Who would make your Hall of Fame table?

WOW that is an outrageous # of questions to ask. Seems like the one you want answered most is in bold, so here you go. 1) Doyle Brunson 2) Chip Reese 3) Eric Seidel 4) Tom Dwan 5) Steve "gboro780" Gross 6) J.C. Tran 7) Carlos Mortenson 8) Stu Unger 9) Shaun Deeb

I played a long session of 25-50 (cent) limit hold'em w college buddies and won $4.25. I'd never been so excited to win so little money, and with such a slave wage hourly rate to boot...but I was VERY excited about it at the time and immediately hooked. I LOVE NL MTT's (the capitalization of "love" seems less powerful since the rest of the sentence had to be capitalized, but anyway) but am also starting to fall in love w PLO, especially PLO MTT's. So I think it goes 1) PLO MTT's 2) NL MTT's 3) PLO cash 4) OFC 5) Mixed games Nope, but I do offer hourly one-on-one coaching for $150/hr and am working on a multi-day seminar/training camp.
