Poker Anecdotes: A Journey Through Limit Games and Humorous Moments


In 2007, the author played a unique game called "hold your dick" where players must discard one card on the river. This game, played in a private recording studio in Los Angeles, involved a famous comedian and another player. The comedian, holding two valets, had to discard one, leaving him with a "valet-high" combination. His opponent, with an Ace-high, won the pot.

In 2008, the author played Limit Omaha Hi-Lo in Commerce, Los Angeles, with a player nicknamed "Crazy X". The game was filled with constant banter and humor. During a showdown, Crazy X won with a surprising hand, leading to a humorous exchange between the author and his friend.

In 2010, a regular player often defended the ace in 2-7 Razz, leading to humorous situations. Despite the player's frequent mistakes, the author and others at the table remained supportive. In 2017-2018, the author played Badugi in Hawaiian Gardens with a player who often limped. The game was filled with laughter and excitement as both players struggled to complete their hands.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
