I don't want my full posting name to show up in searches but I posted as "Sean " for years. Gary was one of the first online friends I made via gambling, if not the very first. We became friendly via IRCPoker and RGP, and often tossed around ideas about loose games in the IRC chatbox and via email. He had some good ideas, had a great sense of humor, and didn't pretend to be anything other than what he was, just a guy who'd gambled for a long time and gave a lot of thought to the game. His thoughts, along with later ideas from people like Izmet and Abdul, were instrumental in teaching me how to beat loose limit Hold'em games.
