European Poker Tour Season Three

Q. What do you think of PokerStars offering H.O.R.S.E. and Razz in this year's World Championship of Online Poker?

A. I love the fact that PokerStars has now added H.O.R.S.E and Razz to their family of poker games. When I play live cash games I am almost always playing high stakes mixed games. High stakes players, unsurprisingly, tend to be amongst the best players in the world. If you only play one game, you will almost always find yourself up against a line-up of the best in the world, at that game. However, when you make the game a mixture of 3-5 different games, even the best players tend to have a serious weakness in at least one game. And this is how the players who are truly the best win against tough competition.

Therefore, if you want to be one of the best, you need to be able to play all games very well, not just Hold'em or Stud alone. I think it is great that PokerStars.com is now offering all of us a chance to practice these games, both in cash and tournament form, from low limits on up. This is going to be a great opportunity for some of our best Hold'em players to become more well-rounded as poker professionals, and to reach the status of the truly elite poker players in the world.

Subject: WSOP Main Event 2006

Just wanted to say thank you for a great week in Vegas for the main event. This was truly the highlight of my poker career. Even though I didn't make as good a showing as I would have liked, it was a blast. Thank you for the goodie bag full of schwag and the 9 nights at the Monte Carlo. what a great week.

Thanks again,
