As far as purchased information, there a a ton of great books out there by successful professional players - like the guys with multiple bracelets as opposed to the fly by night crowd which is trying to capitalize on the "poker craze." Harrington on Hold'em, Supper System, Caro's Book of Poker Tells, Sklansky's Theory of Poker, and many others. If you want to spend money, mspatton has a great selection over at HPC - just follow this link to the promised land: http://www.holdempokerchips.com/products.asp?cat=22

Chips: 111 | | | Re: Is this a scam? Doesn't sound too impressive. If his max per day is only $800 odd, that is not much.
Much better to spend your money on some decent book. |

I have seen so many reports about people getting caught using thier government credit cards for boob jobs, exotic dancers, and EBay purchases that I put mine in a drawer and forgot about it - I am too scared to use it even for legitimate purchases.
