Power From texas hold em poker
Power From texas hold em poker Barry Greenstein won $1.2 million at the World Poker Open in Tunica, Miss., on Jan. 29. The tournament will be shown on the Travel Channel at 8 p.m. on April 21, and again at 5 p.m. April 24. Barry was playing poker. Thirteen years old and the kid was cleaning up in five-card draw and seven-card stud. He was beating juniors and seniors, college boys. He was walking home on a typical night with another $30 in his pocket, maybe $50. Barry was a genius. We knew that. He got every math question right on the ACT and SAT. He came up with science fair projects most of us couldn't even understand -- like his paper on "the natural logarithm base e." But most of us didn't know about the poker. We didn't know Barry was some kind of a genius at that, too. Or that he'd go on to make his living at the card tables, off and on, for decades to come. We were the Class of 1972 at Bogan High School, 79th and Pulaski, and we did all right. Scientists. Plumbers. Doctors. Cops. Lawyers. Nurses. Professors. Bricklayers. One arborist. One judge. One forest ranger. One Chicago Sun-Times reporter. And one world-class professional poker player, Barry Greenstein. But now, here's the twist. Barry has made millions in rakish style, sure. He's loaded. But now he gives away all his tournament winnings. On Jan. 9, Barry gave Bogan $110,000 for new computer equipment. He wanted to honor his three math teachers, John Merwick, Rita O'Connell and Ruth Woerner. He flew in on a private jet. A couple of weeks later, on Jan. 29, Barry won $1.2 million in the World Poker Tour. In the final hand of a game of Texas hold 'em, he had a pair of tens against the other guy's pair of fours. He gave every dime to children's charities. Once, long ago, we voted Barry the classmate "most likely to make a million dollars."

Legislature Approves Texas Hold 'Em Poker
Legislature Approves Texas Hold 'Em Poker For Charities April 29, 2005 The Legislature approved a bill Wednesday allowing charities to stage Texas Hold 'Em events as fundraisers. "I think the potential for making money is going to be a lot greater," said Rick Walker, owner of Wild Bill's Northwest, a Portland company that stages casino nights for charities. The version of poker has soared in popularity with televised high-stakes poker tournaments. Walker figures his company also will be a big winner. Already, one of his big moneymakers is a free Hold 'Em league that features noncash prizes. As of now charities can only offer games where players compete against the house, such as in blackjack or craps. With HB2311, which goes to the governor, games like Texas Hold 'Em where players compete against each other also will be legal. They can't play for cash, but Walker said charities can offer enticing prizes, like a trip to Vegas. The bill passed the Senate with just one no vote -- from Sen. Joanne Verger, D-Coos Bay.

texas hold em poker Tournament
Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament Folds Before First Hand Is DealtJanuary 7, 2005 Friday night's Texas Hold 'em tournament at Turn of the Century folded before the first hole card was dealt. Dennis Schultz- the owner of Turn of the Century and the co-sponsor of the event with his friend Mike Knight- said he learned late yesterday afternoon that the tourney would have to be cancelled after Knight received a call from Brian Turner, who works for the Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division. "It's kind of interesting that the liquor enforcement guy shut me down," Schultz said. "I don't know what he has to do with gaming. He (Turner) told Mike Knight he would shut me down and arrest everyone at the tables. "We checked with the district attorney in town and he said it was fine as long as we didn't take a cut. They said it was OK as long as it was a friendly game, but what is the definition of a friend? Everyone has a friend of friend who was coming to the game. "We would love to have the game and we're working on the details of what can or can't do. The gaming people haven't had a problem with it, but the liquor enforcement guy does. There are a lot of people interested in playing in the came and a lot were going to come as spectators, but I depend on my liquor license to make part of my living and I can't afford to lose it." Knight said the event was cancelled for two reasons. The first was Turn of the Century can't host poker events because of its liquor license while the second was because a story in Wednesday's Daily Press violated the "friends" definition. "This event is cancelled because it's tainted," said Knight, who was driving around Montrose this morning returning the $200 per person entry fees to the 49 residents who had signed up. "You can't advertise a poker game to draw people together who previously didn't know each other. That constitutes illegal gaming and rather than take a chance of getting some of Montrose's finest citizens in trouble we cancelled it. I've put a lot of time and effort into this, so I would have to think about it before I would try to do it again."

Texas hold em poker to play
Poker hounds packing Texas Hold 'Em poker tournaments in taverns across the Triangle and around the state probably don't see anything wrong with the way they're scratching their card-flipping itch. After all, these rounders are playing a virgin version of the game, one where no cash is wagered. Instead of greenbacks, they're competing for tournament points, door prizes and the chance to do a little barstool shirt-popping. But that still crosses the line of North Carolina law. If the winners get a door prize -- even a modest one -- that's against the law. If the winners are offered the entry fee for a big Las Vegas poker tournament -- that's against the law. Even sitting around the cool green felt and clinking casino-grade chips into the cash-free pot is a problem because North Carolina statutes outlaw the possession of a poker table and other gaming equipment. "If you play for any kind of prize, it's illegal," said Mike Robertson, director of the state Alcohol Law Enforcement Division. "The tables themselves are illegal. A roulette wheel is illegal. A Texas Hold 'Em table is illegal. I get a tremendous amount of complaints and inquiries about poker tournaments." Money -- either a bet or entry fee -- is the legal trip wire these tournaments are trying to avoid. But a recent advisory letter from the state Attorney General's Office warned that even cash-free tournaments pose problems. Rooted in 19th-century prohibitions against lotteries, state law gives a broader definition to gambling than money bets slapped down on a poker table. Gambling is defined, the letter said, as games in which players have "tendered some consideration for a chance to win a prize."

Texas hold em poker crowd
Don't miss the Texas Hold 'em poker party at 5 p.m. at the Glenwood Springs Center for the Arts. Sometimes even the best-laid plans go awry at the last minute. I am hooked on Texas Hold 'Em poker, a fun game that's easy to learn and even easier to win. I love the terms. I love to play with the terms "Take me to the river!"Got me a couple of cowboys? I thought, what a great way to raise some funds for the Glenwood Springs Center for the Arts, have a little fun, bring in a different crowd, etc. I was really excited, and so was our board. I checked with our local gaming person and proceeded to get the word out. Well, it turns out the Colorado Division of Gaming was not so excited.Even our police chief said he would love to come play if he didn't have to arrest the whole bunch of us. Not a pretty sight or a good message to send our kids...
