Name: Vaughn Sandman
Nickname: Von Sandman. Not sure how I got it, but I've been known to add some extra "n"s when I need to boost my confidence.
Age: 29
Location: Venice, CA
What is your favorite hand to play?
88. For two weeks running, it's been the Dirtbag Special
Who is your favorite pro player?
No player, pro or amateur has ever taken me apart better or faster than Kathy Liebert.
How did you learn about the 4SPT?
The charming, ubiquitous Dana Robinson introduced me to Jeff and Jennifer. Lo and behold we shared a common interest in poker.
When did you join the 4SPT?
Week 12.
Best thing about winning on the 4SPT?
I've been known to talk the talk. It's nice to show I can walk the walk.
What was the most exciting/best hand you had on the 4SPT?
Hard to beat the all-in three-way finale with Slew and Richard. Still can't believe the hooks held up.
4SPT player you don't want sitting next to you (why)?
Susan. Because if we're at the same table, I probably won't get to hear later what she says about me when we aren't at the same table.
Where/how did you learn to play poker?
Don't recall ever not knowing that a flush beat a straight...I suppose I have Bubba to thank for that. Later on, after I got into it for real, I read a lot of Sklansky and others, did my post-grad work at the University of Commerce.
Any other interesting stories or whatever else you want people to know
I really look forward to playing with you guys every week. It's a great group of people with a lot of really good players, and so well put together...I mean for real, we have our own freakin' website, get to pretend we're on the pro tour--wtf?! I'm just happy to be a part of it.
