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.
This has the makings of a truly incredible story in the poker world. As play began today, the chip leader was none other than last year's winner, Greg (Fossilman) Raymer with just over a million chips.
Some of you may be familiar with the games that have gone on between billionaire banker Andy Beal and some of the top poker players in the world in Las Vegas.
What can we expect of a theocracy? One thing is for sure: you won't be able to criticize the church or church leadership. Here's an example from Florida.
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).
Ed: which one? The guy in the hat or the guy in the shades?
I got the impression you were a bit thinner than Todd, but I do see the resemblance.

Yeah, I didn't get the resemblance utnil he cut the mullet. I have short hair and always have.
