Erin Go Bragh - Part II

There weren't many Americans (or even Englishmen, for that matter) in the Irish Open, so it was no wonder that once we drew for seats, I knew no one at my table. Most everyone seemed to know me, however, and this put me at a disadvantage on this particular day. One guy on my left decided that...

R E S P E C T

I know you're wondering why I let that donkey Phil Ivey win the L.A. Poker Classic, so I'll recap my short-lived tournament before getting to what this column is really about. It was about halfway through day one. A guy in middle position raised my big blind, one player called, I called...
