About the Author

The author is a biologist with undergraduate and graduate degrees from Huter College, NY and Georgia State University, Atlanta GA respectively.
 
Since his graduate degree training included Computer Programming, he was selected to join the team the U.S. Government had created from it's employees, to computerize all facilities in The Veterans Administration Hospitals. This was the early 1980's, and needless to say, no private company could do it. Being a Medical Technologist, He labored as a Laboratory Coordinator with the team that successfully computerized the medical laboratories.
 
So he caught the bug and thought that he could write a program to play the game of poker. Needless to say "The lab ain't no poker table". The main problem was time and lack of poker-playing experience at the big boy's level. So he had to wait until retiring. Then he worked 16 hours a day, 3 months on, 3 months off (which included many trips to Vegas). Now here we are. You be the judge.
