Pokertime...

So tonight we have a live tournament among friends in Houston tonight. A couple of people from our crew are attending, so maybe one of our regulars will take some winnings tonight. Last tournament, Jim S. came in second for a nice finish.

I'll be heading to Vegas one week from today. Getting geared up.

I'm sure most of you saw that Jamie Gold won the WSOPME last week. He was a talent agent from California (he used to represent James Gandolfini) and was pretty well off. He tipped the dealers $2million of the $12 million he won?!? The dealers (my dad is a dealer) are tipped very well from the $5million taken from the prize pool. A $600 entry fee is taken from each player, so I feel the excessive tip may set a bad precedent. I do believe in tipping for a great finish, but $2 million? A bit excessive.
