Gosh, I thought this story had finally died out. Please keep in mind that was a few years ago...I'm old and slow now, and no longer try to play fast.
For most people trying to play too fast is a really great way to give up accuracy. To anyone reading this, please concentrate only on accuracy and let your speed increase naturally, it should never be a goal.
When I trained, it was to play in speed tournaments and I had a good reason to do so. That reason no longer exists. For me, playing really quick meant about an extra $60,000 a year.
Now, being a fast player just gets you noticed more by casinos and could actually cost a person money.
Cheers all,
~FK
