Some trivia: Uecker hit 14 home runs in his career, 3 of them off Hall of Fame pitchers. One of those pitchers was Sandy Koufax. When Uecker saw Koufax after that he would apologize to him because he thought his homer might keep Koufax out of the Hall of Fame.

Things you don't see much of in Vegas as of 12/1/2024 1) Vegas YouTubers who don't exagerate the danger of the Naked City neighborhood behind the Strat Hotel which hasn't really been that dangerous in the last 25 years. 2} Bottled water containers (sold by Vegas street vendors) that haven't been filled with city tap water. 3)Vegas YouTubers who think they're experts on Vegas who "are actually" experts on Vegas. 4)Unknown poker pros under 50 yrs old with good health insurance. 5)Multi-millionaires and billionaires who say they love Vegas and poker and because of that wo

I have a feeling it's going to be a long hibernation unless some big event happens that kickstarts poker again. One possible big event would be a successful poker themed movie that got people that currently done give a damn about poker interested. One example of a movie that created a craze was the movie "Saturday Night Fever". Disco absolutely exploded across the nation after that movie. Another example was the movie "Urban Cowboy" which showcased a "mechanical bull riding machine". I would estimate that at least half the dance clubs in America (even the fancy clubs) installed a mechanic

I like the Jack Straus story where he owed a guy a lot of money and was scheduled to pay it back on a certain day. Jack didn't have the money so he hatched a plan with 2 friends. Jack agreed to meet the man he owed money on the sidewalk. Jack walks on the sidewalk and sees the man he owes money about 50 yards away and the lender sees Jack. Suddenly a car pulls up and Jack's 2 friends get out looking like FBI. They show him a fake badge push him up against their car, pat him down, handcuff him, and place him the backseat of their black sedan and drive off. Later that night, Jack calls t

Posted Tuesday at 10:13 AM How the hell was RodReynolds around to upvote that? I am now convinced that Rod IS VK. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Sorry, but this latest conspiracy theory is also wrong. As I've always said, my identity can easily be verified by FCP Bob by simply calling him and my caller ID will give my name, the author of Vegas Knights. _____ BigD McGee, Rod Reynolds, who will I be next?? -

No big deal because nowadays there are few if any film companies that have the ability to take a 3x honored poker themed script (such as "Vegas Knights"), a script where an experienced script reader said it could easily be made into an entertaining poker movie, a script that is being sold relatively cheap, and a script that would have a built in audience of millions of poker players dying for a quality poker film, and make such a script into a successful movie. -

Things most overexposed as of October 20, 2022: - Political TV ads for the upcoming November elections. - Misleading/inaccurate TV political ads. - Camp Lejeune polluted water lawsuit ads going on for months. - The thousands of comments on the latest poker cheating scandal - stories/complaints about the homeless problem (with little being done). -
Hey Bob, I wonder if Daniel knows Magnes Carlsen is playing in the Main Event today (Tuesday). Maybe he can interview him for the vlog, or let him hang out in his room there.

Well, I got some time so here's that info. Recently I was doing some spring cleaning when I came across a magazine page I had torn out of an old poker magazine over 20 years ago. The magazine probably was Card Player but I can’t tell for sure. The page includes a full page advertisement taken out by Larry Flynt, owner of Hustler Magazine and Hustler Casino. The page includes a photo of Flynt and a separate picture of Donald Trump holding 2 playing cards. Trump used to use that picture in his advetisements of his card tournaments. Remember this was 2001, when Trump was known as a cock
