He also mentions that he saw a big tell on Fossilman in the WSOP in 04 and that's why he felt like he pwned him. Has Greg figured out what the hell he was talking about?

If that's true, then why mention it in the interview? Does he want Greg to beat him the next time they run into each other?

I just read the interview. He says he spent six months in jail for drug related charges. Anyone know what he did exactly??

There are some drugs that would be usefull in poker. Beta blockers, such as Acebutolol, would help to limit tells by blocking the "fight or flight" response. Studies of poker players have shown the biological responses we all get when we get the best hand, for example. Many of the top players who pride themselves on being able to "read" people are probally picking up on some of these responses.

Taking a beta blocker would give a good edge for many players. I wouldn't be surprised if many players are allready doing this.
