Being as this is my first Team Talk for PokerPlayer I think I’ll just come right out and say it – my name’s Nick and I’m addicted to poker.

This addiction has led me to strive for improvement at the game, which I’ve done by both logging table hours and good old-fashioned textbook reading. My playing-to-learning ratio is probably around six to one, but the fact I’m a paid-up member of two poker training sites, have a shelf-full of strategy books, and spend more time on poker forums than can be considered healthy, it should give you some idea as to how much cumulative time I spend thinking, talking and learning about poker.

Whisper it quietly, but I think I’m a bit of a poker geek!
