South Carolina poker call to action (Strip poker show)

Robert Stiller — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 10:30:08 +0000

South Carolina poker call to action
I am naturally suspicious of people who use phrases like “call to action.” It’s one of those marketeer phrases that makes me cringe. That said, if you are a South Carolina poker player or one who travels here to play in some of the best home games around, you should be interested in this. Moreover, if you live in Greenville, South Carolina and don’t join me on Monday night, you don’t care about poker and your right to play it. Monday March 30 at 5:30pm, South Carolina Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell will be holding two public hearings on a bill that would legalize home poker games and also expand charity gaming (including charity poker tournaments) in South Carolina. I will be there and you should be, too. Here’s why. Every Monday night I play in the best home game I’ve ever known. The action is great, the location is perfect, and the players are great people. The game has been running for years and shows no signs of dying off. There are games like it all over the state–friendly folks who just want to play cards in a safe environment. Under South Carolina law, local law enforcement could come in at any time and cite every player for violating the state’s gaming law. That we’ve never been raided is no great comfort. Even though this is a friendly game where the only rake goes to pay for drinks and snacks, it is still illegal. And if you think the local constabulary won’t bust a game of this sort, you are sadly mistaken. Last month I covered the trial of five people who were playing in a $20 max-buy no-limit hold’em game in Mt. Pleasant. The max rake on the game was 50 cents and the house owner, according to several people who testified, stopped taking rake the moment he had enough to cover the pizza and beer. The players were put on trial and, despite the magistrate’s obvious distaste for the law, convicted. [See the April issue of Bluff Magazine for my article on the trial.] A few years back, I held what was then my annual Bradoween poker tournament. It was not a huge affair. We had 43 people from around the country in town and crowded into my small house. The buy-in was insignificant and I charged no juice. People from other states laughed at me when I took the buy-in cash to my neighbor’s house and left it there. They laughed harder when I programmed my police scanner to listen for a raid and put a couple friends outside to watch the door. If I had watched myself that day, I might have laughed, too. It was ridiculous. It was a game among friends that wasn’t even charging for the BBQ and sweet tea. Still, if the raid on a similar game in Greer (a nearby suburb) a couple months before was any indication, I stood an uncomfortable chance of getting busted. It had happened to one of my friends just weeks before. He’d been playing in a similar game and had been handcuffed in front of his wife and kids. To people in less-antiquated states, this probably seems inconceivable. The simple fact i this: playing any game with cards or dice in South Carolina (read: Monopoly, bridge, poker, etc) is illegal. President Pro Tempore Glenn F. McConnell, a Republican from Charleston County, wants to change that. His bill would decriminalize social gambling (including poker) in a private homes where no rake is taken. It would also allow for charity poker tournaments for churches and charities like the Lions and Elks Clubs. Opponents of the bill suggest that opening the door to kitchen table poker is the equivalent of opening up the state border to the likes of MGM and Harrah’s casinos. Nothing could be farther from the truth. You can read the full text of the bill HERE. The language is specific, more restrictive than even I would like, and would in no way allow for casinos in the Palmetto State. All of the above is to say nothing of the rampant hypocrisy surrounding the debate. South Carolina is a lottery state. The South Carolina Education Lottery program is lauded by many of the same people who fight against decriminalizing home poker games. It’s nearly impossible to go to a convenience store or turn on a TV without seeing an ad for South Carolina scratch-off tickets or Powerball jackpots. Make no mistake: South Carolina is, in fact, a gambling state, as long as the state is taking the rake. McConnell held a hearing on his bill in Charleston last week. If news reports are to be believed, the pro-poker crowd outnumbered the anti-poker folks by 20-1. The Greenville hearing could be a lot different. The Upstate of South Carolina is a great deal more conservative than the Midlands and Low Country. In the past, I’ve seen giant protests over similar issues. Even the legislators are worried about bringing the issue to Greenville. Said Senator Robert Ford to Charleston poker players, “Y’all get a couple of buses. I’m always afraid of Greenville on these kinds of issues.” It’s my hope that we won’t need Charleston poker players to defend our rights to play in Greenville. I know there are hundreds of poker enthusiasts in the Upstate who care about this issue. The question is, do you care enough to show your support in public? You don’t have to speak. You don’t even have to give your name. You only have to show up. It won’t take but a couple hours out of your day. I know poker is a solitary pursuit, but the battle to legalize it is not. Don’t be the kind of player who complains but does nothing to remedy the situation. If you don’t show up, don’t complain about the law. When you finally have Republicans and Democrats agreeing something needs to be done about the antiquated South Carolina gambling laws, you know it’s time to give just a little bit of yourself. So, you coming? Monday, March 30th 5:30-7:30 pm Greenville County Council Chambers 301 University Ridge Greenville, SC 29601 The South Carolina Poker Players Alliance is trying to get a good idea on who might come. If you’d like to RSVP for the hearing, you can do so HERE. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment here or send them to my e-mail address: rapideyereality — @ — gmail dot com

Strip poker online – Dead Again

Robert Stiller — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 08:45:08 +0000

Dead Again
(Posters Warning : CJ told me this blog now has a more diverse focus. I still plan to stick to gambling in some sense. Because I am a problem gambler, this still leaves an immense range of topics about which I can, and will, post. I just felt like writing again.) I saw a wookie bounce off the hoods of three cars. He streaked past me, with clumped hair flapping and woozy knees wobbling, presumably running FROM something that only he could see. With wookies there’s an equal probability that he’s running from : A) The Law. B) His Past. C) His Imagination D) Soap. He’d just run down our aisle when he darted between cars, bouncing off one, into another fender, then off a hood. I thought he got away. I later heard he was slammed down by three cops. For those of you playing at home, that’s “A”. Now, generally I like to get all settled in before wookie watching, but since this is the first Dead tour in years I was prepared for anything. My wife, brother and I got to Greensboro at least 3.5 hours before showtime. Presumably enough time to either drink a dozen beers or wait once in the porta-potty line. The good news is that most of the salesmen were pretty savvy. That’s unusual for a wook. The two most active undercover cops were a big burly guy in a yellow shirt that said “Dead” and another guy, also burly, but at least 6 foot 6 with a crew cut and a blue ‘do rag. I saw douche-rag guy hit up one pipe vendor near our car. Pipe vendor was holding his glass in a black case and strolling down our lane when douche grabs a random pipe and whips out a wad of cash. My car was blasting tunes at the time and I couldn’t hear everything said but I saw douche-rag point several times to the “bowl” portion of this young wooks glass. Wook, again, was savvy. The only part of the conversation I actually heard was wook telling cop, “These are for tobacco man. I could hook you up with THAT if you want.” Cop grabbed his money back from the wook, put the glass back, and stormed away without a word. That’s the gamble that is the Dead lot these days. I remember back in the day, we’d see more of everything than you can imagine ( I mean wow, really, everything) and the cops did nothing. It used to kinda freak me out the way cops would just ignore all the obvious, illegal activity at a GRATEFUL DEAD show. Maybe Jerry was responsible for greasing the locals, but the cops ain’t cool these days and they haven’t been for quite some time. Granted, like the wookies themselves, some people deserve what they get. One kid, a girl who I’d say was about 17, came by our car holding a ticket in her hand. She showed it to me….busted for drinking in the lot. Now, here’s where she got super-extra-mega-dumb. Her girlfriend was in the process of getting busted by yellowshirt guy (who again, could have just worn the uniform for all the subtlety he brought to undercover work) and our kid goes up to give her friend a hug. During the bust. While holding an open beer. Sigh. These are tomorrow’s leaders. So once inside we take totally excellent floor seats just to by the soundboard (Philside) and I continue the now standing bet I have with Pauly. We each pick 3 songs for 1st set opener. 3 more for second set. 3 more for encore. I took $20 off him when Phish opened with Fluffhead at Hampton. We pushed all three for the dead. Here’s the setlist for those who care : Set 1 Music Never Stopped Jack Straw> Estimated Prophet > He’s Gone > Touch of Gray I Need a Miracle > Truckin’> Miracle Set 2 Shakedown Street All Aong The Watchtower Caution Jam Drums Space Cosmic Charlie New Potato Caboose Help on the Way > Slipknot! > Franklin’s Tower Donor Rap Encore: Samson and Delilah Some notes : I love Music Never Stopped but am unable to NOT hear Donna scream OHHHH YEAH at crucial parts of the song. I’m not sure what that means. I’ve never actually SEEN Donna but that’s what years of bootleg cassettes will do for a man. My brother and I really, really, really, really, really, wanted to see Estimated Prophet simply because we like screaming AH NA NA NA NA along with Bobby Weir. We’re amused by simple things. He’s Gone was written long before Jerry died but when you’re touring without him you do know the audience assumes it’s ABOUT him now….right? Miracle was the highlight of the first set. I got stuck in the beer line during Touch of Grey and missed part. In fact, I missed so much that I missed Truckin’. I was so oblivious to it that I PICKED Truckin’ as one of my 3 second set openers with Pauly. It was a dumb bet. I enjoy the song Shakedown Street very much. I also Enjoy All Along the Watchtower and Warren Haynes really shredded it up on this one. Caution was awesome and this is the best thing about having Warren play with the band. He can actually sing the blues. Not the douchey Bobby Red Rooster blues but the good ol’ Pigpen brand. If you get to see the Dead this year, hope that they play this song. During Cosmic Charlie my wife said, “you know the DEAD never played this but all the after-bands (Phil, Ratdog, the Dead) play it all the time. I wonder why.” Then they played New Potato Caboose. Wow. I don’t even own a bootleg version of this soon. I couldn’t remember the name until it was half-over. I do remember that “touching makes the flesh cry out loud.” That counts for something. The band started the Help>Slip>Frank at 11:30. That’s 4 hours in. My brother and I assumed all day, it being Easter and all, that we’d see either Promised Land (my guess) or Greatest Story Ever Told (his). Samson and Delilah is what we got. C’est la vie. This is the kind of crap I blog about now. It did contain some gambling. That counts.

Tink, F%$#!
It’s the first lesson I taught my wife when she joined me for a round on the frolf course. She’d never seen disc golf before so I figured I’d start easy. **TINK** “F%$#!!!” It’s the sound of a disc hitting the basket, but not staying in, and the subsequent reaction of the player. It only took about 5 minutes before we heard it happen the first time to a player in a group behind us. It’s been more than a year since I’ve been on the disc golf course, and it felt good to be back! The course in E-Vegas is amazing. All 18 holes have nice concrete tee pads and pictures of the hole at each tee. In fact, a number of the longer holes have alternate tee pads for women, amateurs and G-Rob. There’s a lot to like about the set-up of the course, too. There are mandatory openings through which you must throw the discs. There are lots of places where a bad throw could land you out of bounds or in the water. And the holes offer lots of opportunities for a variety of shots. It’s a longer course than Timmons Park back in Greenville, but it also doesn’t have as many Death Star trench-like shots either. On this day, I managed just one birdie (despite what the course suggests, regular frolfers consider all holes to be a Par 3). But I was happy with how I threw considering it had been so long since I was on a course. And I can’t wait to get back out and do it again! Plus, this gives the guys from G-Vegas just one more reason to visit. 1) Free place to stay. 2) Casino boat with poker room. 3) Disc golf course. 4) And for Bad Blood… some adult establishments.

Do’s and dont’s in a poker game
Poker is a serious sport that consists of strict codes of conduct. Poker clubs, tournaments and associations follow these rules, so if you’re planning to become a professional poker player, you should follow them as well. If you’re playing in a new establishment, you can review its house rules regarding any conduct and behavior you should follow before you participate in a game. However, here are some standard rules you should always follow when playing any variation of poker. 1) Never team up – Playing poker is a single sport. You should never conspire with another poker player because this simply constitutes as cheating. 2) Leave street lingo on the streets – When you’re in the casino, an online poker room, or in other private poker games, practice civil language by keeping course language, swearing and vulgar utterances out of the poker room. If you’re used to swearing when playing in your house during poker night, but you plan to go pro, it’s never too early to practice using polite words. 3) Don’t be destructive – Make sure to take care of wrinkling or creasing the cards and spilling liquid on the table. You should also keep your chips as organized as possible and manage your area of the poker table. Generally, you should respect the environment wherever you’re playing. 4) Lower your volume – Whether you’re muffling sounds, making a conversation, stacking chips, sorting cards or moving your chair, keep the volume low to avoid disturbing your opponents. Be aware that all cell phones should be turned off during the game. Similarly, avoid any movement that may disrupt your opponent’s concentration. Lack of body movement is important in poker because it help players keep a poker face. 5) No drugs and weapons allowed – Leave your guns, knives and illicit drugs at home to avoid intimidating your opponents and even compromising safety. Some poker establishments allow alcohol and tobacco, while some don’t, so make sure to check with house rules before smoking or ordering drinks. As long as you follow these simple rules, you won’t have a problem with any poker establishments.

Poker
Poker ist in aller Munde. Was früher entweder von Gesetzlosen im Wilden Westen, von Mafiosi im New York der 20er Jahre und gestern noch von ihrem spielsüchtigen Nachbarn im Casino gezockt wurde, ist heute ein anerkannter Denksport, der für die junge Generation einfach zum Alltag dazu gehört. Wer auf eine Party geht, wundert sich nicht über Aussprüche wie: „Und der Typ hatte natürlich Anna Kournikova*, der Mistkerl“ oder „Wegen Flush-Gefahr bin ich dann lieber ausgestiegen.“ Vereine und Parteien veranstalten keine Grillfeste mehr sondern Pokerturniere. Fast jeder hat einen kleinen Pokerkoffer zuhause für das WG-Turnier in der Küche und auch Kneipenwirte organisieren gerne Pokerveranstaltungen in ihren Räumen. Da wird der Raucherraum der Eckkaschemme zum Saloon – das Pils fließt Hektoliterweise. Das alles muss leider noch immer am Rande der Legalität veranstaltet werden, da es in Deutschland immer noch keine klare Gesetzgebung zum Thema Poker gibt – obwohl es sich nachweislich nicht um ein reines Glücks- sonder vielmehr um ein Geschicklichkeitsspiel handelt. Eins ist klar: Solange kein Geld den Besitzer wechselt bzw. nur um Cent-Beträge gespielt wird, kann man spielen, was man will. Auch mit vielen Leuten und als Turnier. Manche Zeitgenossen finden ja schon den Ausdruck „Poker“ anstößig – und in einigen US-Bundesstaaten soll illegales Spielen ja sogar so hart bestraft werden, wie sexuelle Übergriffe. Wenn Sie allerdings ein Turnier veranstalten wollen, bei dem z.B. eine Startgebühr erhoben wird (z.B. um die Kosten zu decken) und ggf. sogar (Sach- oder Geld-) Preise zu gewinnen sind, sollten Sie sich mit den örtlichen Behörden in Verbindung setzen. Sonst kann aus einem netten Pokerabend mit guten Absichten schnell ein (zumeist folgenloses, jedoch ausgesprochen unangenehmes) Gespräch mit den Herren in grün/blau werden… *Anna Kournikova – schön anzusehen, gewinnt aber selten. Ähnlich wie Ass und König (AK) als Hole Cards bei Texas Hold’em.
