He gets so many calls from random people that it serves as a distraction. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes I disagree, and sometimes I have absolutely no clue what he is talking about.Ted's cell phone. 2-7, badugi, etc.I have often sat with Ted when he is playing stud and asked why he did certain things. When I say stud, that includes stud8 and razz as well. He is the kind of person that looks at something and sees it in a completely different way then anyone else.Ted is one of the best stud players in the world. He makes some of the most unorthodox plays I have ever seen. You literally never know what is going on in his head when he is at the table.

Ted is the epitome of a guy who thinks outside the box. I have played with him in mix games, as well as in the Larry game. Since then Ted and I have gotten to know each other pretty well. When I came back to Bay 101 that evening Ted was short stacked, and said.where the hell did you go, I've been hanging on by a thread here. On the third day I became bored and decided to go to San Francisco for the day. He had yet to win one of those, and he is a pretty supersticious guy.So we flew out to San Jose and I opted not to play, instead deciding to sweat Ted in the tournament. I explained to Ted that he was going to take 1st or 3rd. After sitting there for countless hours, Ted and I eventually became friends.One day at the Larry Game I told Ted that I had a vision regarding an upcoming WPT tournament.Bay 101 Shooting Stars which was about 3 weeks away at the time.

We played together on occasion in cash games and tournaments.About three years ago I had the opportunity to start attending the 'Larry Game' as an observer.
