Live Poker in Chicago (Really Indiana)
Last weekend I was up in Chicago for the finals of the Barclay’s Churchill Cup. Billymac covered most of the trip at his place, so you can get the full run down there–I’ll just concentrate on poker. On Friday, Billymac and I went over to Majestic Star Casino just across the Indiana border to play [...]
And I Ain’t Lost Yet
Billymac just got back from Vegas, and it sounds like he did pretty well at the poker tables. I’ve known and loved Billymac for years, and this is one reason why… I like… no, I LOVE, taking money from punk-ass kids that show up to a poker room wearing a track-suit, pulled down hat, wrap [...]
Poker South Florida Style
The day after Christmas Bear Toe and I drove up to Dania from Miami to check out the Dania Jai Alai and Poker Palace (or whatever it is called). Our buddy BGE lives in Ft. Lauderdale, and he said this was the place to play. The poker room there is a decent size–probably 20 tables, [...]
Gotta Love the Holidays
Besides eating… I’ve watched 12 episodes of Lost Season 3 in the last two days. Today we’re getting out…to play poker. Never played here before, so I’m anxious to see how easy the rooms are here.
Isn’t This Rich?
And by rich I mean the lobbies that are successful in getting governors to propose prison time and heavy fines for online gamblers and poker players in the same bill that makes the way for licensing for casinos. Patrick’s casino legislation, which has been introduced at the State House but is not expected to get [...]
Cigarette Smuggling Surveillance Starts in Tennessee
From the KNS: Starting today, state Department of Revenue agents will begin stopping Tennessee motorists spotted buying large quantities of cigarettes in border states, then charging them with a crime and, in some cases, seizing their cars. I can go so many different directions with this one… Do I make the comparison to the Dukes [...]
10,000 Reasons Not To Have More Money
I came upon this story by way of Reason. I’m no fan of the ACLU, mostly because they are very selective about which civil liberties they choose to defend, but I have to be cheering for them in this case, where a truck driver was forced to turn over $23,700 for no other reason than [...]
Poker Police Strike Again
Reason tells us about raids in Georgia, North Carolina, and some especially dangerous card sharks in Dallas. I don’t get to play as much poker as I would like, but luckily, I’ve never been involved in a home game that was broken up by a S.W.A.T. team. I’d like to believe that this is mainly [...]
