Default Has \"pokerworks.com\" been censored ?

"The big game" is now missing from the site.

Maybe some stupid player has complained and the management, who does not know what is good for poker, has ordered Linda to take it down.

I think precisely that saga generated a lot of interest in the Bellagio.

My apologies to the Bellagio Management if its her own decision or if the hero (Andy) has asked her to take it down.

Looks like she got some complaints or something. Read her latest thing in the "Table tango" section on her site. The tone of the thing makes you think something happened.

And no, I did not go whining to the Bellagio even though I really dislike what she writes while employed as a dealer as I posted about below. But maybe somebody else did or maybe the bellagio management figured out all the problems. I dunno. It would be good gossip to know. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I think what Linda does is fine. The events that transpire in a public poker room are public. Linda is not telling anyone's secrets. She tells a good story, and as a side effect, she imposes some (very minor) repercussions on those who chose to behave like spoiled four-year-olds.

Linda has dealt to me on many occasions, and I have yet to see a negative comment about me on her website. Well, I have yet to see any comment about me on her website. But I am confident that, so long as I refrain from acting like an ass, I will be forever free from any embarrassing exposees.

I know this is not a popular opinion among poker players and devoted readers of this forum, but I don't see anything at all wrong with someone telling the story of what happens in a public cardroom. And I don't think it's relevant whether the story teller is a casino employee or not.
