Reporters really SHOULDNT do poker stories

I can sell you all the 1972 Buick Riveria's you'd like for $18,000 a pop! My guess is the number you'd want would be about zero. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I think this article damages the image of poker players more than anything else. I mean, who the hell wants to be this guy?

Thirty year old car and modular (read trailer park) home. Where can I gets me some of dat?

[Sloats]

modular sometimes means pre-assembled.


But I agree, this article is not beneficial. Hey, who wants to read a nice heart-warming story about a teen who started dealing three card monty to support his crack habit?

What a loathsome piece!

Hard to know if it's a lazy reporter not doing any fact checking, or being taken for a ride by a pathalogical liar living off some kind of disability allowance and pretending he plays professional poker.

Urgh! I hate media like this - sends out all the wrong messages and damages the image and credibility of us all.

anyone draw or confirm any conclusions about people who call themselves a "rounder"? Was it just me?

[risen]

I don't know any successful poker players who would use that term to refer to themselves.

I actually quite like J10, of hearts especially. Dont know why. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Anyone notice that in the article it says he started when he was 14, and underneath the photo it says he was 15.

He has come a long way since witnessing the games evolvement from the days of lowball and high-draw to the newer and glittery Las Vegas-style games of Omaha and five card stud.
