What do you think of Vegas poker these days compared to 10 or 15 years ago

Mixed games are a lot easier now than 10-15 years ago.... Holdem is much tougher.

I havent seen Sammy in a few years now... I heard he's playing casino games

What is your favorite poker variant to play?

Do you prefer live or online poker?

I'm pretty sure I won, can't remember who it was against... in Stud8 I scooped

I loved my time in the army - told lots of army stories in the book.

I love Stud Hi and Omaha
