What is your favorite site and why?
Favorite Poker site is Paradise. I love the 6 player tables. They are very
easy to beat. I like Party a lot too. With so many players, you can always
find a good game on there.

What has been your biggest poker thrill or achievement up to now?
I sat with Howard Lederer once. That was kinda neat but as far as winnings
go; I would say that winning Multi Player tournaments on Party. I have won 3
total. My biggest win was for almost 12k.

I have been playing in a forced rotation game recently so I have been
working on my stud, Omaha, Razz and draw games.

If you could go back in time and start all over again on the Internet,
what would you do differently?
After winning big tournaments not blowing the money on high/higher limit
games. I have dumped a ton of money trying to jump up to fast. Just because
your bankroll says you can play 500PL does not mean you are ready for that
game.

"I cant believe you called me down with that"
"Sorry John I cant remember"
and last but not least
"I got the nuts"

Who is your favorite poker player (if you have one)?

would be Stu Unger. Of the players out there today It would most likely be
Daniel Negreanu, Phil Helmuth(Yeah I said it), Doyle Brunson and Gus Hanson.

Pro football(Huge colts fan), BMW auto's, Traveling to 3rd world
contries(Columbia, Thialand, Costa Rica, Cuba etc).
