Inside the Poker Mind: Essays on Hold 'em and General Poker Concepts
John Feeney spent his youth in Phoenix Arizona. After attending the University of Colorado he moved to San Diego to pursue graduate work in clinical psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology. His interest in poker was sparked while observing a hold ’em game during a weekend trip to Las Vegas. True to his background, he took an academic approach to the game, studying the poker literature, consulting with David Sklansky, and getting the requisite playing experience. By the time he received his Ph.D., poker was beginning to compete with psychology for his attention. He soon began to log more hours in the cardrooms of Southern California than in his field of psychology, until ultimately poker became his primary focus.Today John can often be found in mid-limit and higher games in San Diego, Los Angeles, or elsewhere. When not at the tables John now devotes a good portion of his time to writing. His articles in Poker Digest have been well received, and he is a regular participant in poker discussions on the Internet.Away from poker John enjoys spending time with his wife, Nanci, and two young daughters, Olivia and Blythe.
