What's ingenious about it? I guess he doesn't mention his involvement with the site directly.

I had a good laugh checking the site out, especially the "coach" profiles. Apparently I've missed two years of my life and it's now 2006. Back-to-back sentences:

"He's won limit, pot-limit and no-limit events during a tournament poker career starting in 1991. Bill has won several hundred satellites over a tournament poker career spanning 15 years."

Classic. They could use a lot of help with their "press releases" too.

2006 aside both of those guys can play.

I'm sure they both can play circles around me. Just thought some of the writing was funny, or maybe my sense of the space-time continuum is just messed up.

[Dan Mezick]

I appreciate the coaching in spelling, and basic calendar arithmetic. Duly noted, and the necessary corrections have been made. Thanks sincerely.

You're right about these poker coaches abilities. Jim himself won 16K net just last week in a single PokerStars NLTH multi tournament making the final table in a 900+ player field. And he was pissed about it! ... because every exit of an opponent player was worth another 12K or so for him at that table.

[nolanfan34]

I agree they have impressive records. If I ever sniff a WSOP final table I'd be pretty damn happy for the rest of my poker career.

I know you post on other forums here, but it took like two clicks to see your name involved with this site. Just be careful with the spam is all I was saying as well. I'm not sure where the line is drawn when you actually have content of interest like the interview you linked to.

There's been enough banning lately, Mat's probably getting tired of it.
