EXPERT VIEW - I Am So Proud I Could Shed A Tear
|
02 November 2005
I don`t have children of my own, at least none that I can keep an eye on, so it is only natural that I have forged a surrogate bond with Ryan. He`s my poker son, and I am his poker father. The fact that he`s many years older than me and looks nothing like his creator is I maintain irrelevent. And now, he`s made me so proud that I could cry.
Not only does he listen, but this stellar pupil puts theory into action. He has taken my advice about playing no-limit online poker tournaments and proved to one and all that they work. Granted, the pupil has to have talent, and Ryan, or mini-me as he is now called in the office (even though he is taller and bigger than me - you get the idea) has a lot of natural talent. So, last night he entered a 183 player event on Paradise Poker and he finished 2nd! His biggest payday yet as a fledgling poker player, and more importantly, a tremendous accomplishment to outlast 181 opponents.
I`m not going to steal his thunder. I`m sure he`ll blog the details of this stunning performance soon enough. But if he is doing this well after only a month, who knows how far he can take this Experiment of ours?
See, when I started playing poker seriously my education was very expensive and learned first-hand. I paid better players to school me in the art of hold`em, and there are still many, many days when I end up paying. The only difference is that the winning days now pay for a month of losses, and that`s the only way to succeed as a professional player.
I have a feeling that Ryan could end up knowing a lot about this lifestyle in due course - he really has the potential to become a strong poker player.
