Aaron Bartley recently distinguished himself from scores of poker pros through his uncanny awareness of brilliance. He is the first – and probably only – pro that has not only noticed our blog, but has actually read it. In fact, he went so far as to email us and share his thoughts on Poker From The Rail. As men of integrity, we’re well above sharing such precise and insightful commentaries on our journalistic and literary genius. Let it suffice to say that he recognized us as “pretty cool” and “having a good time.”

Jared’s made respectable showings that include two WSOP and four WPT cash finishes. So far, he’s amassed well over $1.3 million in career tournament earnings, and it looks like he’s just getting started.
Between going to and from the casinos and taking down online tournaments, Jared was good enough to answer a few questions for us. Here’s what he had to say:

Welcome back to The Pros Speak. We chat with the pros and find out what’s going on in their lives, ask their opinions, and get to know a little bit about the individuals. We deliver the goods from the pros – in their own words.
Howard “The Professor” Lederer is best known for his legendary poker prowess, and with two WSOP bracelets and two WPT titles under his belt, he’s one of the most intimidating players you’ll run into at any table. The question is, is he this intense away from the table?

Welcome back to The Pros Speak. This week we have Andy Bloch – truly a man of many talents. In addition to being a world-class poker player, he holds degrees in electrical engineering and law, was a member of the MIT Blackjack Team, and runs the (Unofficial) World Poker Tour Fan Site. Clearly, he’s got a lot going on.
In spite of his busy schedule, Andy was good enough to give us a few minutes of his time and share his thoughts on a few things. Here’s what he had to say:

Ever wonder about the Full Tilt Poker Pros? Sure, they play poker, but what else do they do? If you’ve ever been on Full Tilt Poker, you’ve probably read about them, Tips from the Pros, and articles covering their latest accomplishments. This is great stuff, but it doesn’t always give you a lot of insight to the people as individuals.
