Back in the 70's at the Golden Nugget, Puggy Person poked his cigar in my eye. I had dealt him out of $70,000 or $80,000 in about 3 hands.

Let people do as they wish to do, and make all States have gaming and poker rooms with any limit possible.
If you could change anything in the poker world, what would it be?
Outspoken dealers while others are playing. They should keep their opinions to themselves, and not make fun of the players no matter what the players do. Everyone should respect each other and play their own game without issues. And there should be common rules in all rooms. I have always said this, as far back as the 70's. |
