I was first introduced to poker for $ late my freshman year of college (2003). I was studying finance at NYU at the time. One of my friends asked me if I wanted to play a $10 game of poker. Rewind about 3 years to high school. There was a big blackjack craze at our high school where dur... Read More
One summer I was in Vegas with Emil and some friends. We were at the Bellagio and wanted to shoot some craps so we found a table and set up shop. That’s when we noticed why this table was special. At one end of the table was a remarkably inebriated Asian businessman. He was skinny, thirtyish, wearing a pinstriped button-down shirt with the top button unbuttoned, and was absolut ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/j-mac/52391-Emil-and-the-Drunken-Asian-Businessman-">(continued)</a>
The following very well may be my  favorite Emil story, which is interesting because a) it has nothing to do with poker and b) I wasn’t even there when it happened. Nevertheless, ever since I heard it, I have always retold it, and I have always enjoyed it. During our junior year of college, Emil went out to the bars one night with some friends. At the end of the night everyone was hamm ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/j-mac/26591-Maybe-my-favorite-Emil-story-">(continued)</a>

Way back in the fall of 2005, I was living with Emil and our mutual friend Tom. We were all in our senior year at NYU . We all had pretty light schedules and a short commute to class. We also all played poker seriously. Not surprisingly, none of us graduated on time. But this post is not about our lackadaisical academic attitudes. This post is about what happened when Tom and I convinced Emil to buy his ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/j-mac/11491-Double-Vision">(continued)</a>
Some of you whippersnappers may be too young or too new to remember the great Krantz-Ellipses duel of 2007. Well, have no fear, for I will tell you the glorious tale. In the summer of 2007, Jay, Emil and I were all living in downtown Manhattan. They were playing cards and I was working as a distribution analyst for the retail chain Steve and Barry’s. Jay and Emil were both longtime successful hsnl pla ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/j-mac/6051-Ellipses-Period-">(continued)</a>
