We would play with a cheap Hoyle chipset she had purchased from the local grocery store. My grandmother was a player/dealer decades ago (her boyfriend ran a large club in Queens, NY) and she started teaching me 7 Stud, 5-Card Draw Hi, and NL Hold'Em starting when I was 6 years old. Maybe BBV will find it interesting as well.Ī bit of some background about me - I basically grew up in the poker world. I often get asked by the players here in Vegas to tell some stories of my club days.

I now live in Vegas and work here full time in the poker industry.

I have a ton of stories from my days of dealing in the underground clubs in New York.
