While most of my video poker play is done in Las Vegas, I do have a few out-of-town plays which I like. I go back to some of them again and again. Unfortunately, publishing what and where would be a death sentence for the games.
How We Do It: Handling a ‘Random’ I...
Here’s the scenario: You’re walking around a casino floor (probably scouting games) when suddenly a security guard walks up to you and asks for ID.

Keeping the Story Straight
If your personal philosophy requires you to tell the truth 100% of the time, and anyone who doesn’t is going to hell, you’re not going to enjoy this article very much. I married Bonnie, the widow of a career United States Air Force officer, in May of last year. Our planned European honeymoon needed to […]
