In this issue, we salute the poker players who probably don't need any video training; they are the players who shined in the 2008 Player of the Year race. John Phan is our 2008 Player of the Year (check out the full story on Page 54), and up-and-comer Alex "AJKHoosier1" Kamberis locked up the second-annual Online Player of the Year award (Page 60). We extend our thanks to all of the players in both the live and online communities for making these races as exciting as ever.
