"I'm not satisfied with anything but first," says Graham, a PLO 8 cash game heads up specialist. "Unfortunately the blinds are so high it's an all in fest. You have to go with almost any hand and hope to get lucky."
Graham has been playing poker professionally since graduating from Skidmore College. He says he got his online start when he spent several months sailing around the Bahamas.
