GamingReview's Interests
POKER GAMES:
I was a 7-Stud player for 30 years, but with the Hold'em Craze sweeping the country I played it seriously for the first time in November 2004. I cashed in my first live tourney at Binion's the night before my Las Vegas wedding and then started online.
POKER PLAYERS:
My biggest thrill was felting Hall of Famer Barbara Enright in 2008. I have also played against Linda Johnson, John Cernuto, Kathy Liebert, Hans Lund, Billy Baxter, Gavin Griffen, Jennifer Tilly, Kenna James, JJ Liu, "Hollywood Dave" and Jimmy Woods.
LUCKY POKER HANDS:
For some reason the 6 - 9 seems to hold up more than it should, so it has become a superstitious hand for me and play it if it does not cost much. The A - K seems to knock me out of more tourneys, but the A - Q costs me more money than any other hand.
CASINOS:
To see my reviews on Brick and Mortar poker rooms across the country and around the world, visit Poker Insider Magazine (http://www.PokerInsider.ORG) and for reviews of online poker rooms please visit Gaming Review Online (http://www.GamingReview.ORG).
ACTIVITIES:
Editor of Poker Insider Magazine, Home of THE INSIDE SCOOP (http://www.PokerInsider.ORG) and Gaming Review Online (http://www.GamingReview.ORG). My wife and I travel extensively and I play poker whereever we go in the US and Internationally.
MOVIES:
All movies dealing with Poker. All In, Rounders, Cincinatti Kid and Cool Hand Luke. Hopefully, my screenplay will someday be on the big or small screen. Poker is only a minor element in the story, but it ties the timeframes and characters together.
TV SHOWS:
As a former Military Policeman, Military Intelligence Officer, Body Guard and Private Investigator I enjoy the crime genre shows, such as CSI and Law & Order.
BOOKS:
I have written the book "Winning Blue Collar Hold'em," for low stakes players. It covers starting hands, position and betting. Am working on 2 new books, That's Poker, Folks and Living on Jacks and Queens: Poker According to Maverick.
MUSIC:
I have eclectic tastes from classical to light rock to my favorite, which is country.
POKER PLAYLIST:
Maverick Theme.
QUOTES:
"This game is Poker, not Solitaire." Doyle Brunson. "Gambling is the grand metaphor of life. In 1/2 hour, you have all the things that happen in life. All the struggle, all the victims, the catastrophes, everything.” Gonzolo Pelayo. Any Pokerism.

hello an thanks for the invitation,,see u soon i hope an gl at the tables.. :)
Hi Dan, just started this site withe a 30 day trial through Card Player Magazine. I have been playing for about 44 years. Bought the original "How I Made Over $1,000,000. Playing Poker" by Doyle back around 1978. I am a ritired teacher(32 years), married, travel around the country on a Harley Ultra Classic and love to play cards. Love h/l games-Omaha and Stud. Think I might try some smaller live tournaments and try to get into the circuit. I play several sites many hours a day. Nice meet
Thanks for the add! Fun to play with you I like your play!! see you on the Final felts!!GL and TC
If I forgot to thank you for your book, I am sorry. I haven’t had the time to read it; because I am wasting too much time losing at SC
>
My kids both won prizes for their essays on patriotism from the local VFW & my Dad was a Marine & got a military funeral when he died from a heart attack when I was 15
>
He taught me to always support the military & always went out of his way to help disabled Vets
>
I will give to the organization you recommended as soon as I find a job

Thanks agai
Based on # of great hands I had today & lost, I too am beginning to think that the RNG used by SC is broke. I had pocket Kings three times today and the flop was 3 cards of the same suit, the suit I did not have. I lost not to flushes but to hands the other players should not have called with based on my raises; &, they hit an unbelievable hand on the river. SC keeps telling me there RNG is one of the best; but, I don’t know how often it is tested. I think it is fair though.
Hi you doing? (Thanks for the friend request) Hey.. Maybe you can answer me a question..
How is it - that myself and all my friends can even come close to trusting ONLINE card outcomes when all of us (about 20 of us) see the same patterns hand after hand.. Is random ONLINE possible? (Maybe the MACHINE can't get it right?)
I for one think it's a SHAM - with no one looking out for the players rights. (rights to fair game)
I"d love to hear your thoughts..
I have a poker blog http://www.sta
You have requested a friendship and I am not sure how to accept it. Email me back and let me know. GL with your struggles. I am an RN for 25+ yrs so I know about these things. Keep faith.
I to am a disabled veteran. I am only at 40% currently but have been fighting to get 100%. I have a broken back since 1991. The VA insists it is just a strained back and refuse to accept non military doctor's reports. I had surgery last yer to try and fix it, but not only did it not fix it but actually made it worse. I'm a veteran of the Desert Storm war.
Thank you. It 's an honor to be ur friend. Hope to see u at the tables. Ollie.
Thanks for the invite Dan. Hope to see you at a table soon. Looks like I could learn a few moves from you.
Thanks for the invitiation. Just read your background and am duly impressed. I agree with you about AQ.
