Meanwhile, in Maxim …

Brad Reagan, author of Aces and Kings, writes about a poker cheat who is supposedly cutting up home games and private clubs in an unnamed city, though it sure sounds like NYC. Also quoted is Russ G., repeating his claims of running a massive boiler room, though it doesn’t seem like Reagan actually spent any time with him to verify his claims. Fair article, but you buy Maxim for the pictures, not the words, anyway.

Maxim and WSJ – how’s that for diversity in reading material?

You guys see they took the word gullible out of the dictionary?

Always so angry. I sense so much hatred in this one.

I knew this was going to come up ... I don't wanna go into it. Frankly, it's noneya'll business.

If you wanna believe that I'm full of shit, that's fine w/ me ... but ... I just don't feel at liberty to go into it. Trust me, he's not a bullshitter.

I believe you, but I can't even imagine what it is that you don't want to go into. My only guess is you paid him to teach you to cheat, and now you are ashamed
