Words from Vince Van Patten, WPT Host & Commentator
The best way to make the jump to high-stakes games is to go slowly. It's easy to get caught up in the moment, so try to stay focussed and gamble only what you can afford at the time.

Player Spotlight: Meet xHobophobic!
I'm 28 and I was born in Burbank CA but in Tulsa OK right now. I go back and forth every couple months.
I used to work as a set electrician in the movie biz. When that started to get boring I got a job as a Player Banker in an LA casino. (The guy that sits at the blackjack table and covers all the bets so the players get paid.) I started playing poker after work just for fun and then I started asking to get of early so I could play more poker. As soon as I realized that I was making more playing poker than I was at work I quit my job and never looked back.
