		Hey speakers of the mighty wind- I met Larry W. Phillips some years ago while playing 5-10 ring limit Omaha8 online at Paradise Poker. His nick was Wayno, and in contrast to the other players at Paradise, he began to chat it up with me in the window during games, and then to offer advice, which spilled over to an ongoing email correspondence. Wayno is the author of two non-technical books on poker that have proven useful to me- _Zen and the Art of Poker_ and _The Tao of Poker_. Here is a brief excerpt from _Zen and the Art of Poker_: "Years of experience eventually teach you that your main battle, always, is with yourself- your propensity for errors, for rationalizing marginal hands into good hands, lack of concentration, misreading other players, emotional eruptions, impatience, and so on. Your opponents are merely dim outlines that come and go. Few of them ever reach the exalted heights of damage that you can inflict on yourself." (page 64) I've lost touch with Wayno, but I'm trying to get back in touch with him....he's a killer player and would be a great windtalker. lol. Z-Fish
