And Antigone X could be any of us who dares to stand up to unjust laws and demand, instead, the higher powers of tolerance and decency.

Even though Sylvester Suzuki is a pseudonym, he is a real person who understands the underlying theories that govern tournament play. This text should prove helpful to anyone who is new to this form of poker.
