The First $1 Million Dollar Winner of Poker.
The 1991 Worlds Champion of Poker.
I have been playing poker for over 35 years. I first got very serious of playing professionally after Doyle Brunson won his second WSOP Championship in 1977. I don't play as many tournaments as I use to, but I never miss playing in the Worlds Championship event each year.
If you make it there next year look me up. Or just click a picture to go to my website.
Now days I have been doing a lot of promoting, like hosting tournaments,doing seminars and giving poker lessons. I like giving the poker lessons the best because I don't even have to leave home to give them. I simply join a player at a online poker site and give them tips and advice while talking on the phone. I have found it is the fastest and easiest way to teach someone to play poker. I am also the co-author of two books with Tom McEvoy.



Theres nothing like playing with your dog outdoors, along with some exercise to make you feel good. I also enjoy traveling to exotic places, beaches as well as the mountains. I like all kinds of good food, so trying new restaurants is fun.
A very good friend of mine that was getting old gave me good advice a long time ago. He said "Kid you are only here for a short time enjoy it. Tomorrow isn't promised to any one." It's advice that I live with daily.
I like going to the movies. I usually pick a movie according to how I feel. If I am tired It is a action movie like Die Hard. A Comedy if I need a pick me up.
Shawshank redemption was one of my favorite movies of all time. The Green Mile was very good. Forest Gump.
I don't watch a lot of television. It's usually some sporting event like a UFC fight or a football game while I am on the computer. I watch a few movies just to fall asleep with.
