DOYLISM OF THE DAY: “Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.”

Yeah, this is what it’s like to try to play live poker in NY.  One of the reasons I don’t do it anymore.  I wrote an article about it that I almost had published, maybe I’ll put it up here when we’re out of beta.  also, how can you not love Doyle, even if he is a Republican-Jesus nut?

After reading the story about the police raiding a poker game in South Carolina, it brought back a lot of memories. One of the S.C. players wrote about the raid – “All of a sudden, it was like a commando SWAT team raiding a bunch of crack dealers. It was like the SWAT teams that you see on TV busting into your home, guns drawn, full protective gear, and demanding we put our hands on top of our heads.”

Hello! Welcome to my world in the 60’s. Add to it if you said anything or resisted in any way, some smart-assed cop would hit you with his pistol or, even worse, would point his weapon at you, cock it and dare you to say anything. Believe me, it’s not good, but it is better the cops than the hijackers. Kudos to the 5 South Carolina players that are fighting their arrest in court. Mike Sexton has gone there to testify in court, that poker is a game of skill, which would overturn the antiquated state law. Good luck guys!
