Check out the video blog (vlog) interview of Tom Kowalski. Let me know what you all think.

If I asked you the question – How would you describe your style of play? How would you answer that question? Is it even possible for you to answer that question? I believe some of the guys who play in a TreyBoys event would have trouble describing their own style, dare I say it would be an impossible task?

Is it really necessary to be able to describe how you play? I would argue it’s imperative for you to know how you play in order to realize how others perceive you at the table. Doesn’t poker have a lot to do with the way your opponent views you at the table and then being able to cash in on that perception? I would challenge you all to think about the way you play and be able to define it. After you define it you may find yourself making some plays you normally wouldn’t because of your self-awareness. It’s, of course, still possible for the biggest donkey in the world to win if the deck is smacking him/her upside the head but waiting for that to happen doesn’t sound like very much fun to me.

Who can’t relate to the quote below from Mark Twain??? -

"Learning to play two pairs is worth about as much as a college education, and about as costly."
