I was a 7-Stud player for 30 years, but with the Hold'em Craze sweeping the country I played it seriously for the first time in November 2004. I cashed in my first live tourney at Binion's the night before my Las Vegas wedding and then started online.

My biggest thrill was felting Hall of Famer Barbara Enright in 2008. I have also played against Linda Johnson, John Cernuto, Kathy Liebert, Hans Lund, Billy Baxter, Gavin Griffen, Jennifer Tilly, Kenna James, JJ Liu, "Hollywood Dave" and Jimmy Woods.

For some reason the 6 - 9 seems to hold up more than it should, so it has become a superstitious hand for me and play it if it does not cost much. The A - K seems to knock me out of more tourneys, but the A - Q costs me more money than any other hand.

Editor of Poker Insider Magazine, Home of THE INSIDE SCOOP (http://www.PokerInsider.ORG) and Gaming Review Online (http://www.GamingReview.ORG). My wife and I travel extensively and I play poker whereever we go in the US and Internationally.

All movies dealing with Poker. All In, Rounders, Cincinatti Kid and Cool Hand Luke. Hopefully, my screenplay will someday be on the big or small screen. Poker is only a minor element in the story, but it ties the timeframes and characters together.

As a former Military Policeman, Military Intelligence Officer, Body Guard and Private Investigator I enjoy the crime genre shows, such as CSI and Law & Order.

I have written the book "Winning Blue Collar Hold'em," for low stakes players. It covers starting hands, position and betting. Am working on 2 new books, That's Poker, Folks and Living on Jacks and Queens: Poker According to Maverick.

I have eclectic tastes from classical to light rock to my favorite, which is country.
