Where/how did you learn to play poker:
In 2001 I had a horrible break up with my girlfriend of 4 years. While at rock bottom a couple of "friends" invited me to a poker game. "it only costs $50" they said. Thousands of dollars later I'm okay at Holdem, better at Omaha and can play a mean game of stud hi/low.

I play a lot of tennis. When I get a new can a balls I like put my nose right up to the cap and slowly let out the sealed in freshness. I gives me a special feeling.....inside. Also, thank you to Jeff and Jen for putting together such a smooth, organized and fun game of poker.
