Connecticut's Paul Darden is one of poker's best stud players. Darden, who is a professional poker player as well as music promoter and nightclub owner, has been quietly making a name for himself in the poker world by learning from the best players around him. "I watch the great players, such as Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey. I just try to follow suit. I am a student watching the teachers. If you really want to be good, pay attention. My strength is to try to play my opponents hand not mine because I have my cards, my cards are easy to play. I try to put myself in their hand and play at me."
