Hard Rock, World Series and Isle poker tournaments: Which will you play?
Our John Holland wrote about the upcoming tournament at the Hard Rock, which I blogged about below.
Meanwhile, the Isle is having its Florida State Poker Championships later this month, and players from here are also headed out to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker events.
I'm gathering thoughts of what people think of the tournaments and which ones they'll likely play in, so if you're playing in one, how about a quick response to this post telling me what attracts you to one of the tournaments over another? Cash payout? Chance of playing against weaker players and making money? Chance of playing against better players to up your game? The party? Thanks.
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.
