[Ipg-smz] My son Mike played his cards right ...

[David Needle]

Thank you all! And specifically to Phil's comment: "That's impressive,
David."

I have to say,  all credit to Mike. Neither Lynne or I play poker, he's
completely self taught. He's been a diligent student of the game, reading
books on the topic, watching videos on tells, buying poker simulation
programs, entering player's moves in a spreadsheet so he can learn their
tendencies, etc. All to say when you finish that high, it has little to
nothing to do with luck. You might win a few hands via luck, but luck, to
coin a favorite Silicon Valley phrase, doesn't scale.
