After a year of traveling around Indian casinos in the Southwest, I finally landed in Las Vegas a few months ago. My poker blog has been neglected, and placed on Hold, for months. But now I'm getting back to it. On a regular basis now I'll be posting my thoughts about the game and maybe share some stories of the people I meet.
For me, poker is more than a card game. It's a social experience, a composite of the lives of those who sit down and share their time. Each game is a painting, a work of art, with various colors and schemes evolving over time from the individuals who at that time are contributing to the tapestry of play.
I have few passions in my life: art, writing, photography, and studying people. What better place to study people than at a poker table? I do feel at home in a poker room.
I'm not here to teach poker. I'm here to share the world of poker playing, a game that is a part of the American experience. Thousands of web sites will teach the game. This blog is my experience, my life, my contribution to the game that has become a passion for millions of players around the world.
