Richard Brodie, http://www.brodietech.com/liontales/blog.htm , he is not really a pro, he is retired but likes to play a lot of poker and is friends with a lot of the Full tilt pros.

If you couldn't tell he was joking - you need to lighten up a tad. Dry sense of humor doesn't make someone a bad guy.

FWIW, I've known Richard for over 2 years and he is one of small group who remain down to earth after being so successful in their business life.

He co-wrote Word 1.0, not excel, and was one of i think an original 6 involved with Microsoft. sorry to be a nit.

He's taught me things about Video Poker paytables etc my bosses at the time didn't even know. Once he became interested in poker, he pretty much dove in and tried to learn as much as he could, as fast as possible. How can someone have a problem with that?

Richard is truly a class act - as well as an occasional lurker on 2+2, so he may even stop in and have something to add.

At least he wrote his own stuff. Not all Full Tilt pros do that.
