TABLE OF CONTENTS On Thanksgiving Day, when I was 9, I saw sleet for the first time in my life; it was a rare sighting for a native Texan. Sitting around the dinner table at a friend's house, with mashed potatoes and turkey in my belly, I learned the difference between a flush and a full house and how to keep a straight face during a bluff. I don't know if my poker face would help me in front of a computer screen I've never tried — but the online poker fiends in Jayplay's feature know how to give their opponents a run for their money. Check out the online poker story on page 8, and visit www.partypoker. com. Maybe I'll be there, exercising the poker stare I've perfected over the last 13 years.
