During the winter months, I hit the road and travel through the southern states, playing in casinos and poker clubs while taking in the sights and sounds along the way. During the rest of the year, I play mostly in my home area of the Pacific Northwest, from casinos to poker clubs, fraternal organizations to house games, with occasional trips to big events. Each week, I'll be sharing my insights i
nto the poker scene, including the different game types I've played, the available table stakes, and the wait times to get a seat. I'll also be highlighting the skill levels of the players I've encountered – from the tight nits to the loose cannons – so you can get a better sense of the competition at each location. In addition to the poker, I'll be reviewing the overall comfort and quality of the casinos and poker clubs I visit, as well as the food and entertainment options available. Whether you're looking for a high-stakes game or just a fun night out, I'll help you find the best places to play and eat in each of the locations I visit. And of course, no poker journey would be complete without a few bad beats and suckouts. I'll be sharing my personal stories of triumph and heartbreak along the way, as well as tips and strategies to help you improve your own game. So join me on my Donkey Trek as I explore the poker scene in the southern states and the Pacific Northwest – it's sure to be a wild ride!
