Someone told me once that I looked like Todd Brunson, professional poker player and son of the legendary Doyle Brunson. They were right. This could be my twin:
Now if only I had his money. Paul Phillips casually mentioned once that he saw Todd get up from the table at the Bellagio with 4 racks of $25,000 chips - a cool $10 million.

I just finished reading The Professor, the Banker and the Suicide King, by Michael Craig. If you have any interest in poker at all, I highly recommend that you get this book. I devoured it in about 24 hours and enjoyed every moment of it. Having read many of the gossipy reports about this series of…

I don't think this has gotten much attention, but I think it's important to publicize it. There's a scandal going on in the poker world over a tournament going on right now, the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions. You may remember that last year after the WSOP they had a made-for-TV…
I seem to recall you mentioned that you win more money playing online poker than you lose. Have you ever thought of giving it a go, full time? What sort of bankroll would you need to get started? At the very least, if you can pass youself off as Todd Brunson, there might be some pretty sweet high-roller benefits you could take advantage of around Las Vegas :-)
I'm a winning poker player, but that's at pretty low stakes. I don't want the life of a pro poker player. For every Daniel Negreanu there are hundreds of guys struggling. No thanks. It's just a hobby.
Huh. That's not how I pictured you at all. I was envisioning a thin balding guy who wears big glasses (no offense, if any is inadvertantly taken).

I got the impression you were a bit thinner than Todd, but I do see the resemblance.
