I’m not going to talk too much about poker because I hate poker and never want to talk about it or play the game again. It’s Saturday morning, I’ve been here for two days, played in four tournaments and I have not a cruller to show for it. So, let’s not talk about poker. Let’s…

Several, several years ago Ruth and I took the kids to Arizona for our Christmas vacation. I took everyone to a Phoenix Suns basketball game. I think it was 2012. The Suns were brutal that year. I bought tickets from a scalper for like, I dunno, whatever change I had in my pocket and a…

  Calgary and The Deerfoot Inn and Casino. Friendly place. Before we get to poker, let’s talk about a certain woman at a poker table. Now you know I’m a feminist through and through, right? And you also know I am married to the most beautiful woman in the world, yes? So, you know that…

  I’m off to Calgary, a shit-kicking town if there ever was one.  Of course, I’m no shit-kicker. I’ve nary kicked shit in my life. So, you can imagine that the only reasons I would ever have to go to Calgary would be: 1.      A long-lost sibling of mine has emerged, and needs…

   With the WSOP Seniors tournament behind me, I set my sights on the Seniors tournament over at The Venetian. $1000 entry fee with a one million dollar guaranteed prize pool. What’s not to like? Plus, I needed to get my 15,000 steps in anyway. I headed over there on foot.    Vegas during the…

Hey Virgil Blog, it’s been a while. Like two and a half years give or take a pandemic.   Anyway, great to see you again.  Las Vegas, Nevada. World Series of Poker Seniors Tournament, 2022. That’s what we’re here for, right?  $1000.00 entry fee.  Orange section, table 532, seat 3 (my least favorite seat, but whatever…) …

I’ve got all my life to live I’ve got all my love to give – I WILL SURVIVE! Monday night I was driving down to Commerce from the little house Ruth and I have rented for the month. Our house is in Silver Lake and we love it. Our car is a sweet little two-seater…

I played poker with Bill Klein! And he told this great joke. Well, let’s say he told a joke, great.  I didn’t tell Ruth the joke (she’ll read it in this blog at the same time you do). I wouldn’t tell it to Laura De Carteret either who will also read it here. I think…

I’m not even sure I can bring myself to write about this one.  But I will. Ruth and I took a little trip to Montreal this weekend to see our son, Joey, and for me to play in a poker tournament. It was The WPT $1500 Deepstack. And for whatever reason, GOD-if-GOD-exists decided I was…

I love The Aria! Remember two years ago when I chopped a $25,000 prize five ways in their nightly tournament, and walked back to my room at The Encore at 7 AM in broad daylight? And remember last year when I went on a 30-minute heater at the blackjack table here and won $1200? And…
