Get to know ...[1texaslea]( A retired Quality Engineer, 1texaslea moved to the South Padre Island area sixteen years ago to work in Mexico. Not only did he find work, he also met his current wife! He loves the area, as it means lots of sunny days and plenty of fishing. He also has a teacup poodle named Killer -- although he says "Kisses" would have been a more appropriate name! Want to take a seat with 1texaslea? You'll find him in the European and Asian Leagues, where he consistently finishes in the Top 20. He has this bit of pithy advice for his fellow poker players: "Don't chase; you'll be caught." 1texaslea is a fan of Replay because he just loves to play poker. Not only that, he enjoys all the people he's met here ... even interesting characters like [Ralphie the squirrel]( Jump into a regional League tourney and get to know him better.

Many players who take a seat with us at Replay have never experienced what it's like at a real table. Player [Seville]( is a retired card room owner and has begun an educational series about the ins and outs of live poker. Read up on his first posts, which detail the specifics about equipment, starting [right here]( and stay up-to-date on all poker-related discussion [here]( Poker Pro-Tip New to poker and looking to improve your game? Our resident poker expert [Chasetheriver]( has a few suggestions for poker-related books that are worth a read-through: "My first book was 'Hold'em Poker' by David Sklansky. I would recommend reading everything in general and playing for a while to see what type of games you would like to begin learning; Ring, SnG, MTT hold'em, Omaha, etc. Books by 'old school' pros like Sklansky, Brunson, McEvoy and Harrington suit a play chip site because the disparity between the best and the worst players is so big and they teach basic ABC styles. More modern books expect most players to be well-matched and talk about deep theory and exploiting small edges." Finally...
