 Getting Inside Taya's Mind

Inside the Minds, as profiled in the Borgata Poker Blog, wrapped up another poker strategy class as poker pro Lee Childs led another session.

Joining Childs as instructors were pros Jason Young and David Inselberg who talked about everything from table image to post-flop play.

"It was great," says Childs, "we love teaching, especially here at Borgata where we did our first ever class."

A couple of up and coming women took part in the training, including Borgata regulars Julie Anna (Rockville, MD) Cornelius and Taya Kuznetsova (New York, NY).

"I'm starting to play bigger tournaments and wanted to prepare," says Kuznetsova, while playing in today's event.  Kuznetsova, who's been profiled in the blog, says she plans on playing the WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship event and learned a lot of  "mental strategies" in yesterday's class.
