Mike,

Congrats! Seems like you were a net winner from the git go in the online poker world. Did you have a lot of experience with poker previously, or was it skills you picked up in money management and the intel business that gave you those skills?

The reason I ask is that there was a Google Tech Talk where the subject was about how poker can teach you some valuable skills. This Harvard law professor professor incorporates poker in his classroom. And he's a staunch supporter of legalizing online poker. If you have 52 minutes to spare, you might enjoy what he has to say. Quite a character. Here's the description:

Come hear Harvard Law School professor Charles Nesson and Harvard Law student Andrew Woods talk about the ways that poker can be used as a powerful tool for teaching core negotiation and business skills. Professor Nesson is the founder of the Global Poker Strategic Thinking Society (GPSTS), an organization focused on developing an academic curriculum using poker as a teaching tool. Professor Nesson and Mr. Woods believe that poker can be used to teach important life skills such as game theory, strategic thinking, risk assessment, and money management in an engaging and interactive way.
