I have been inspired. My first source of this inspiration came from a book: Rolf Slotboom’s Secrets of Professional pot-limit Omaha. In the early chapters, the author describes a strategy that he employs, in which he buys into a game with the minimum stack and waits for a very strong hand before committing all of his chips before the flop; it’s a strategy that has proved highly successful for him to this day.

The second source of inspiration came from work. Besides writing and playing poker, I work in Support and Game Security for a major online card room. Recently, I came across an interesting complaint from a couple of our higher stakes players.
