When his business
became successful it was back to poker full time. He has since sold
his distributorship, but remains busy physically, playing tennis,
swimming and running. He also tries to eat well (he mentioned how
much he respects the life style of Cyndy Violette) and he stays
active mentally (and financially healthy I might add,) by playing
high limit poker online and occasionally in live games close to home
at Foxwoods and Atlantic City, plus, of course, his yearly spring
(until the last couple of years, now in the middle of summer) visits
to the “Duel in the Desert”. Almost forgot, Jay also plays in the
WPT events as well.
Another thing Jay
does, (and I highly commend him and his wife for it) Jay and his
wife are raising their now eleven year old grandson. I bet that
keeps them both active (I know, I have a twelve year old grandson
myself). Jay says “The boy is the joy of his life”!
But getting back
to poker in this enjoyable, for this interviewer anyway, and I’m
sure it was for Jay too as we told stories back and forth about the
“good ole days” and he told me stories about “Modern time Poker”.
His favorite
poker game is Omaha Hi-Lo (the one he truly excels at) closely
followed by No-Limit and Limit Hold-em.
When put to the
question to list the nine players he would NOT like to see at
a final $10,000 buy-in table, Jay listed, Doyle Brunson, Phil
Hellmuth, Gus Hansen, Dan Harrington, Erik Seidel, Johnny Chan, Phil
Ivey, Barry Greenstein and Howard Lederer.
Then it was off
again to the green felt battle fields for this poker solider of
fortune.
