POKER ROAD w/ David Singer

In this edition of 15 Outs, LA Mike took the time to visit with David “The Dragon Fly” Singer. Prior to becoming a professional poker player, Singer was an environmental lawyer. He began his poker career clear back in 1996 in New York. He started by playing almost exclusively 7-Card Stud, which is still considered his best game. He ventured into no limit holdem tournament play as the prize pools swelled to incredible heights. “The Dragon Fly” has made numerous no limit final tables including a win at the Caesars Palace Classic in October for a cool $1 million. He’s also the only player to make the final table of the $50k HORSE event both years. Let’s get to know Mr. Singer off the felt

LAMike: David, what’s more important to you at this point in your career? Goal-wise, is it about winning titles and the associated prestige or all about the cash baby?DavidSinger: The money is most important. However, I would really like to win a bracelet this year.

LA: You won $1 million for the Caesars Palace Classic victory, what did you do with the money? Anything fun or exciting to treat yourself?
DS: Actually, what I did with the money was both fun and exciting: I put it in the bank in a CD. (LA: LA wants to be invited to your next big bash, huge party!)

LA: If you could select any super power, what would you select?
DS: The ability to get everyday nuisance chores and things done by just thinking about them. (LA: Like winning millions in poker tournaments?)

LA: I know you’ve told me in the past, you’ve considered “retiring” from poker and doing something else. Are you still thinking about that?
DS: Still thinking about it. I am playing less poker than I ever have before and definitely planning on getting involved in “other things”. (LA: LA has an offer; you could be my typist, like my secretary.)

LA: What would you do just sit home and count all your cash or perhaps the Environmental Czar for the next President?
DS: I would like to be the EPA administrator or Secretary of the Interior. I could do many good things for our country with respect to the environment from these positions. (LA: LA is curious, what does Interior Design have to do with the environment? Seems odd to LA!)
