AboutChris Expertise I am a professional poker player and game theory expert. I can answer almost any question related to poker, from your local home game to winning big tournaments or playing at a casino. I am the head cash game instructor at pokerxfactor.com, and I run a site for poker coaches at http://www.foxpoker.com, give lessons (I'm usually booked at least two weeks ahead of time) and I know a little about the online poker affiliate business as well.
Experience I've been playing poker for a living for 4 years, and have written about the subject extensively. I have sold articles to places like twoplustwo.com and Deal magazine, and I write a monthly column called The Online Fox in Poker Pro Magazine and Poker Pro Europe. I run a poker magazine at www.blindstraddle.com and a rakeback site at www.pokerwhip.com.
Education/Credentials I've read the books, talked to the old timers, and done my time at the tables. That's all the education a poker player gets. I own over 100 poker books and have read them all at least once.
Awards and Honors "Best Article" award on pocketfives.com for 2005 for my bankroll management article. All my other "awards" have been in cash, and I've already spent them. Poker isn't about trophies, it's about money.

Past/Present clients Too many to list. I run http://wwwfoxpoker.com I also work for PokerXFactor.com as a consultant and fixed-limit Hold Em expert.
Question If I'm playing the poker games Kings & Little ones. I have been dealt on the floor 9, 10 , K, K, and in my hand I have 2,2,2,. In theory I have 5 wild cards does that make my hand 5 Aces or does it become 5 Tens...
Please Help If you Can..
Thanks
Answer Unfortunately with crazy home games that are made up and have their owns sets of rules it's very tough for me to offer a ruling. If there isn't an established set of rules as there is in the major casino poker games like Hold'em Stud and Omaha, you sort of have to ask about the rules as best you can and understand that there will be arguments.
If there isn't a rule about what you can declare your wild cards as then I guess you had 5 aces...
If your group switches to only playing Holdem, Stud, Omaha, Stud8, Razz, Pineapple, Draw, and Badugi, and you get a set of rules form online, you'll be much happier and enjoy the game a lot more and everyone's skill level will progress quickly. Most importantly there won't be friendships ruined over rules disagreements.
