I find Ted one of the most likeable guys in poker. At the table he does not talk. He is thinking. Away from the table he is approachable and is even willing to help you with you game if you ask him a question. He is a class act who backs many players with his personal winnings. Many of his backings are failures because he backs many close friends. Often he would be better to back players he sees sitting at the table every day for long periods of time that seem to be winning for years. He gets my vote for one of the best players in the world for many years running.
