On Tuesday, April 1, the NYU-Stern chapter of the student-led Global Poker
Strategic Thinking Society (GPSTS) will be joining other student groups at the
New York University-Stern School of Business to host a discussion about the
links between success at the poker table and success at the boardroom table.

The discussion, co-sponsored by the NYU Professional Development Society and
the
Quantitative Finance Society, will spotlight the success of
twenty-four-year-old professional poker player and entrepreneur Taylor
Cabyand explore how he has parlayed his successful poker strategies into a
successful and growing online business.

The discussion is open to the public and will be held in room UC60 of
TischHall (Stern Building) from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM at 40 West 4th Street, New
York, NY.

Mr. Caby will discuss his experience applying the skill sets that he has

Caby is a rising star in the world of professional poker and co-founded the
poker education company CardRunners.com, which with more than 10,000 members,
is one of the world leaders in online poker education.

"We are absolutely thrilled to host Taylor Caby at our NYU-Stern chapter.
Mr. Caby
is exactly the type of individual that the GPSTS is interested in, in that
while he has found success at the poker table he has found even greater
success in applying the strategies he learned playing poker to the wider
business world," GPSTS Executive Director Andrew Woods explained. "He has a
highly informed sense of how poker simulates behaviors in the boardroom and
at the negotiations table."

The discussion is sponsored by the NYU-Stern School of Business' chapter
ofthe GPSTS as part of an ongoing series of forums, summits, and speaking
engagements by some of the top poker experts and players in the world.

GPSTS believes that poker teaches and sharpens important life skills, making
poker more than merely a fun game. GPSTS is dedicated to forming chapters on
college and university campuses that share the poker strategic thinking
philosophy,
staging strategic poker matches between chapters and schools, hosting
conferences and seminars that explore the strategic thinking inherent in poker,
and
exploring new ways to use poker as an educational tool that teaches life
skills.

Since GPSTS' August 2007 launch at the State of Play international gaming
conference in Singapore, GPSTS has organized student poker societies at
several major universities, held workshops, and presented a series of
academic conferences, lectures, and seminars. Past participants in GPSTS
seminars have included poker celebrities Jim McManus and World Champion Mike
Sexton.
