Woods seemed to be everywhere at the World Series, his hair white, his blue suits pressed, his sunglasses always on. He stacked two chairs together to raise himself above the other players and emanated at once high energy and



?I play every single day ? private games, casinos, online,? Woods said before starting the tournament. ?I read about it. I?m very committed to it. I?m passionate about it. One of the things I like about it is, it?s a challenge to your mind, your soul. You?ve got to be an artist and scientist to play poker well. I?m a little of both.?

Woods said his style reflects his personality.

?I?m a very thoughtful, conscious, analytical person, capable of aggression, but I?m very, very careful about it,? he said. ?I don?t want to go to a gunfight with a knife. When I go to a gunfight I want a howitzer. I have a great deal of patience and discipline. Once in a while I?ll play a marginal hand, and if I hit it then I can be a real killer.?




Asked if his acting skills help him bluff, Woods said: ?It?s more how I read other people. I know if they?re telling me the truth. I?m a director, too, so when I watch people I can tell when they?re lying. It?s one of my strengths.?

He went to the same high school as I did.

"Woods grew up in Warwick, R.I. He graduated from Pilgrim High School there in 1965 near the top of his class".

He dated a girl I knew.

I lived in Warwick, R.I. 30+ years. He seemed like a nice guy. Saw him many times food shopping, at the mall, etc but that was MANY years ago!
