Perhaps Marton Magyar can write a poker book on the underground or illegal poker scene all across Europe and how to win. He could write such a book under a pseudonym. He mentioned Budapest Hungary and it’s a nice city. I happened to be in Hungary when the Twin Towers were attacked in 2001. If I was going to vacation in any European country right now it would only be Hungary. Western Europe is a basket case! The best Gentleman’s Club I’ve ever been to was in Hungary to this day.
