poker

I noticed Soultrader posted he use to play pro and I'm just starting to learn.

anyone else play?

any tips on books or whats the best way to learn? I started playing on yahoo with an odds calculator, its been interesting. I'm not ready to play with real money yet, still "paper trading".

On another non finance forum I'm on poker came up and I had got into it with a guy who plays pro online. Something I don't get with online poker is couldnt you easily build a system with 3 players, a networked app where everyone sits at a table, puts their hand into the app and then use text book probability theory/money management to gain a serious edge over everyone else at the table? The guy thought that was absurd but I still don't understand why.
