South Florida Gambling
While I got beat holding 10s in the big blind in my post above, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson turned out to be a little luckier playing J-10 at the 2007 World Series of Poker, as documented in the weekly poker column that runs in our Showtime! newspaper section.
As I said in the post above, when we have columnists like Rosenbloom, you're going to see me sticking more to the poker news, rather than advice.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
