Al: Yes, I knew Lederer played chess. I'm ready for fulltilt chess. FT: I don't worry too much about tells cause I have more crucial things to work on at this point, especially in the large % of my tourneys, where most of my opponents are not poker geniuses and if they tried to detect and use a tell against me, it'd probably lead them more astray than anything. The few "tells" I was really conscious of at the ME were related to bet-sizing and timing my deep thinks. C-Rex: Don't have any major brags for you but don't worry, you'll hear about them when I do :) Joe: Thanks for letting me know!

Do you film it or have a coach to try to notice your tells? Do you do the thinking routine most of the time like Gus Hansen or do you strive for the unflappability of a Johny Chan, or have your own style? No I don't think the pawn on your chips is dorky at all. On a scale of 1-10 it's a zero. A Queen might be nice. Loved it on your shoulder. It's like putting the players on notice that you can calculate the odds with the best. Hope when you mucked with pocket tens it wasn't just getting bullied by a big stack with a bluff. Good job getting as far as you did. You looked happy. Does your nervousness increasing as the pot sizes go up have an effect on your tells? Do you film it or have a coach to try to notice your tells?

I think he was only a Class A or Expert though. I guess he doesn't count though since he no longer plays (chess that is). Good luck! Al Pinto Seymour, CT Hey Jen,
