In a swordfight to the death with the emperor of the Internet, I managed to acquire some more Internets. From now on I'm going to post all of my poker stuff on Thousand Card Stare - Poker Stories for the Soul, and I'll post all my fictional stories on Whiskeyblood - Pre-apocalyptic Short Fiction.

"Jones! Jones! You play poker right?" "You know I do." "I've got a proposition for you... There's a tournament in the Hunter Valley on Sunday. You make the final table, you get a grand." "How many runners?" "A hundred, maybe a hundred fifty. I'm driving up tomorrow and it makes it ch

14 CommentsEver since I blew my $280 bankroll on a pair of aces at the Bellagio - beaten by a pro with two pair fives and sevens - my amateur poker game hasn't quite made it up to those heights again.
