I haven't read this book yet, but i plan on reading it in the near future, but I am curious about the section of the book regarding "poker and sexuality"? What is this about? I just don't feel like waiting for the book, and then having to read it. Anybody please!

If you have sex before you go to sleep, you probably will be more rested and less distracted when you play. Therefore, a sex partner who travels with you can be a big asset. In theory, if your partner isn't with you when you go on an extended poker trip out of town, a relatively steady substitute will give you a competitive advantage.

He's a mass of organic tissue just like the rest of us compelled by his hypothalumus to do what is necessary for survival and the creation of offspring.

While he is masterfully unaffected and dour at the poker table, I've seen some fire in his posts.

You may not consider him a sexual or otherwise passionate person, but I think what you don't realize is that many people don't wear their emotions on their sleeves, nor express their sexuality in a way that you're accustomed to understanding.

In the final match of PS II, you can witness him start to come to life when engaged.

I'm not sure if he got blown by Bruiser in Europe or not (not that there is anything wrong with it!), but I just finished this book and I believe he copied the relevant section word for word (don't have it in front of me but am pretty sure).

I was going to ask what the heck is the 'reverse cowgirl" but Google once again came to the rescue. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's taken out of context. In the very next sentence, he follows up on the 'in theory' part by saying that it's not a very good idea in practice.

He says it's a more accepted practice in professional sports like basketball. He implies poker players aren't those kind of superstars, not yet at least.
