Max Troy Talks Stud

We just had a quick chat with Max Troy, as he mixed up a break-time milkshake. A few minutes earlier, during play, he called us over and said, "Hey, I want you to know you're watching the game of the future right here. It's going to be big like when internet poker started. I'm telling you."

During break, he elaborated a little bit. He talked about how much he enjoys playing stud, because he feels that a good player has a much larger edge over a novice than in hold'em. "There's so much information available on the board, if you're observant you can really punish someone who tries to represent a false hand."

He talked about his tough spot at the table, sandwiched between two great players. "If I keep getting rolled up sevens, I'll be fine," he said with a smirk.
