Lee Davy continues his Academy Award Winning column, Poker Routines, this time with a look at the routines and habits of Timothy Adams.

The first time I saw Timothy Adams he had blood pouring from his nose.

He was deep in the 2012 World Poker Tour (WPT) Grand Prix de Paris when the scarlet began flowing during a hand against the eventual champion Matt Salsberg.

Adams opened to 35k from the cutoff, and Salsberg joined him from the small blind. The flop was KdTs8d, and Salsberg check-called a 35k Adams bet. The turn was the 7h, and both players checked. The river was the Qh, and Salsberg led for 45k sending Adams into the tank.
