Al Krux - busted with 40 pounds sour diesel - Page 2 - Poker News

About as bizarre a story as I could have imagined when I signed on ten minutes ago, didn't come off on TV in 2004 like a guy who would be involved in this type of thing

His son is a 31 year old man. If he isn't intellectually impaired he was selling weed on his own free will.... Some people need to get out of the basement more than once a month...

If he doesnt have a record, and there wasnt any guns or coke on premises, he likely will just get 3-5 years probabtion, or a minimal jail sentence, although they are a lot harsher upstate it depends on how big of a dick the DA wants to be. Hopefully he gets a great lawyer, and he wont have to do any real time.

Bad beat for sure.

You might be right but the story reads like this....

Quote:

Forty pounds of marijuana, 90 marijuana plants and $5,000 in cash were confiscated during the investigation, DeWitt Police Chief Eugene Conway said. Police also found some controlled substances, including heroin, Conway said

To me it reads forty pounds and 90 plants.

Report says they found small amounts of heroin (didn't say whether his or his son's).

Good call. This is pretty funny and something I'd never have thought of on my own.

Only the stupid kids who want to sound cool. Calling all weed sour diesel or white widow is like calling all wine Chardonnay.

They don't like manufacturers. Interferes with the weed they bring into the country that they are trading arms for.

premise 1: smoking weed is harmless
premise 2: all distributed weed is going to be consumed somehow (smoked, eaten, etc.)

conclusion: distribution of weed hurts people?

Christ! The son is 32 years old. Maybe it was the other way around. Either way, by 32 the son ought to be responsible for his own actions

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Krux

Quote:

Before turning to poker, Krux was a diamond merchant. He also once consulted with Native Americans about casinos and poker rooms.
Krux has made the final table of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $10,000 no limit hold'em main event on three occasions (6th in 1990, 5th in 1994 and 6th in 2004 where he was eliminated by eventual winner Greg "Fossilman" Raymer.)

Nice timing while Native Americans are trying to get piece of Caesars future monopoly. Wonder if Al Krux is currently consulting with them for online poker?
