Part 3 in the COVID series.
To try and make this list more helpful, I have added Weekend Day and Weekend Night, as those can be vastly different than during the week.
I'm trying to monitor Twitter and the Vegas Message Board to get some additional information.
Keep sharing all that wonderful goodness.
I'd like to update the wiki to talk about what sidebets casinos have, so if you know that info, I can add it to the table comments.

- First Foam encore, last played 7/22/17, 79 shows ago
-----------------
I'm baaaaack! Who's ready for some hot, piping, northeast, casino Phish?! It's a pleasure to be joining you all again as your guide through the first show of one of the most hyped runs of the summer! Fun fact: Tonight marks Phish's first performance at the Mohegan Sun Arena which also just squeaks past St. Louis' Chaifetz Arena as the smallest venue of the tour with a capacity of 10,000.
Let's hear some opener calls for tonight! I'm gonna be going with the ever elusive
Colonel Forbin's Ascent GLIDE to get the show kicked off.
I'm currently studying for an exam that I have tomorrow so I am going to be in and out of the thread until show time but I'm posting early again to encourage some friendly chatting, discussion, banter, jokes etc etc etc. I really enjoyed hearing everyone's favorite jams of the tour so far in my last thread so this time...let's hear your favorite show you've attended and why. My personal favorite that I have seen would have to be 7/28/17 AKA Double Chocolate night of the Baker's Dozen. This show contained EVERYTHING that I want at a Phish show...fun and wacky covers, YUGE jams, surprise bustouts and bizarre song placements. Also, it doesn't hurt that I've never heard anything louder than the crowd reaction to that Chalkdust Torture peak. Here's an awesome recording for you to check out for yourselves if you so desire,

Commentary from the Couch:
- I've already spoken with Vegas for the degenerates among us and I've been told the pre-show Hee-Haw o/u line is set at 3 after a measly showing of 2 Hee-Haws at Fenway 2. Live lines to come.
- Just finished off way more food than anyone should eat from my favorite Chinese joint! What're y'all feasting on tonight?
- Finishing up AHS Asylum before the show, first time seeing this. Man this show is faaaaacked up but so good
SET ONE COMMENTARY - Right out of left field with that call there Troy
- Let's hope for a little yam in this one!
- HOLY SHIT THIS ONE'S GONNA GO
- This is absolutely looking like its gonna be one of those shows
- Surprised this only the second Maze of the summer! I'm still hunting one with Lengthwise

- We're all in this together!
- I love Fish's new trigger pad with the gong and triangle sooooo much
- Oh fuck yeah let's get weird with this Gin dudes
SET TWO COMMENTARY - I'll be totally honest, I was at the debut of Soul Planet and absolutely despised this song at the time. That being said, it's grown on me more than any of the other new songs I think
- Really cool beat Fish is playing there with the triplet on the hi-hat

- OH JESUS THAT WAS SMOOTH
- Final Hurrah is another one that has really grown on me. The faceepluntintorokk sample has always driven me nuts cause I really enjoy the song portion but I think I can look past that going forward

Houston is LEAKING money!
I've been playing cards for well over a decade now and I've been beating the game regularly for years. My father introduced me to the game when I was young and when I turned eighteen I hit the road traveling while working for a construction company. I'd play whenever and wherever I could all over the country. Been to every major casino from Foxwoods to Hard Rock and all throughout the west coast where I've called home for a while now.
It's all the same everywhere I've gone though. Live poker players are TERRIBLE. One of the best parts about it is the fact that a lot of them will openly acknowledge that what they're doing is going to lose them money in the long run and they still do it. Often gambling for hundreds of dollars with only a 30% chance of winning the hand. That means in that specific situation you're winning 7 out of 10 times.
And that's where I come in. If you put me in a position where I can be there when this happens then I can make us both a decent amount of money.
For those who don't know, the most important part of being a professional poker player who makes a living playing the game is bankroll management. You can be the best player in the world but if you don't have enough money to withstand the downswings then you will go broke. Even Vegas doesn't win 100% of the time.
This has always been what has kept me from playing the game for a living and taking it seriously. I've never had the proper bankroll or bankroll management because I didn't need it and it's led to some crazy situations.
There was one stretch of time when if I won at 1/3 with $300 at risk I'd go play 2/5 with $1000 at risk. If I'd win at 2/5 I'd play 5/10 with $2000 at risk. This of course is a recipe for eventual disaster but it did provide me with a good amount of insight into the variety of players at different stakes. Surprisingly enough I didn't really see too much of a difference between people gambling for $100 or people gambling for $5000. It's all relative and there was always still at least one player at the table making MASSIVE mistakes.
So I'm really hoping I can find some bored rich person with money laying around doing nothing. Or better yet, someone who is actually familiar with the game who might have their own stable in the Houston area.
If you're the former then the way this would work is, you would give me the money to go play in whatever game you're comfortable staking me in and whatever profits I make are divided evenly between the two of us. I'm even willing to start at a better rate for you, maybe something like 60/40.
The games can range from $300 up to whatever you can imagine. Mostly in the range of $500, $1000 and $5000. The higher the stakes, the more money we make.
This is gambling, so the profits we make will vary widely over a short period of time but as long as we continue to make correct decisions while others are making the wrong decisions then our profit margins will begin to level out at a sustainable positive win rate.
The following applies to Texas Holdem. Omaha winrates are substantially higher but the variance is overwhelmingly high.
With $300 at stake my winrate is roughly $30 an hour.
With $500 at stake my winrate is roughly $50 an hour.
With $1000 at stake my winrate is roughly $70 an hour.
That means that if you put me in a $500 game 40 hours a week I can generate $8,000 a month in profit that we can split and have a nice extra bit of change in our pockets. Luckily for us, there are plenty of games in Houston and there is plenty of action just waiting for us.
This isn't even considering poker tournaments this could lead us to where 1st place is hundreds of thousands of dollars. I know for a fact I can crush these games man, it's honestly laughable how easy it is to beat live poker. All I need is the stake so let's do this!
-Roy
Edit: I guess I should clarify, I'm not looking for some quick Cashapp/PayPal transaction. I'm looking to find someone and build a relationship with them to the point where they are 100% comfortable with whatever arrangement we come up with. I really don't even care what it is. You wanna come over and hang out, have some BBQ with me and my family? Fuck it. I realize the ever looming absurdity in this sort of proposition which is why I'm willing to make sure you're comfortable and I also realize how much of a long shot this is but fuck it. Lifes short.

The winner of Broadway.com’s Audience Choice Award for Best Musical, this breathtaking smash “captures the kid-at-heart,” says TIME Magazine. Vogue cheers, “It’s a must-see you’ll remember for years to come!” Originally directed by visionary Tony®-winner Diane Paulus and based on the critically-acclaimed Academy Award® winning film, Finding Neverland tells the incredible story behind one of the world’s most beloved characters: Peter Pan. Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful widowed mother.

With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland, where nothing is impossible and the wonder of childhood lasts forever.

- The Revivalists, February 28The Revivalists are bringing their Into The Stars Tour to Foxwoods Resort Casino. Some people say 'luck is the intersection of hard work and opportunity.' On their fourth full-length album and first for Loma Vista Recordings, The Revivalists chronicle, catalog, and capture an unbelievable ride where ten years of tireless hard work would be unexpectedly revved up by the wrongly dubbed “overnight success” of the gold-selling number one single “Wish I Knew You.” Like any enduring band worth its salt, they reacted the best way possible to newfound popularity, by buckling down and turning up with an album chock full of tunes worthy of even greater success. It’s the result of a trip that unassumingly commenced in 2008 with hundreds of underground shows yearly and culminated 10 years later with not only “Wish I Knew You,” but three years of back-to-back sold out headline tours. In life, like rock ‘n’ roll, some questions get answered while others stay unanswered. Our personal backroads tuck, twist, and turn through ups, downs, and everything in between at light speed, sometimes without explanation or a moment for reflection. Mirroring the push-and-pull of the past few years, the boys—David Shaw [lead vocals, guitar], Zack Feinberg [guitar], Andrew Campanelli [drums], George Gekas [bass], Ed Williams [pedal steel guitar], Rob Ingraham [saxophone], Michael Girardot [keyboard, trumpet], and PJ Howard [drums, percussion]—deliver a bevy of anthems marked by moments of sonic complexity, celebration, and catharsis. 8 p.m. $36-$56., Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino, 350 Trolley Line Blvd. Mashantucket, CT
- Bert Kreischer: The Berty Boy World Tour, February 28Comedian Bert Kreischer is bringing his Berty Boy World Tour, but probably not his shirt, to Foxwoods Resort Casino. Bert Kreischer is an American stand-up comedian, actor, writer and host who performs to sellout crowds across the country. His standup specials “Secret Time” and The Machine are currently streaming globally on Netflix. Described as having a “rare and incredible talent” (Interrobang), Bert has evolved from being named Rolling Stone’s1997 "Number One Partier in the Nation" to one of the top names in comedy. Between his two previous stand-up specials, The Machine on Showtime (2016) and Comfortably Dumb on Comedy Central (2009), his two podcasts: “Bertcast,” and “Open Tabs,” his YouTube cooking show: “Something’s Burning,” his book Life of the Party: Stories of a Perpetual Man-Child (2014), Bert has succeeded in finding the elusive blend of “being a cringe comedian with real insight” (Interrobang). Lauded as one of the best storytellers of his generation, Bert seamlessly and sincerely shares anecdotes about his family and fatherhood while showing his ability to prove “that there’s a way to take his [party-boy] antics into middle-age,” (Forbes). His infamous story about robbing a train with the Russian Mafia was recently optioned by Legendary (the studio behind The Hangover Series, Jurassic World, and Straight Outta Compton) to be turned into a movie. After the successful debut of The Body Shots World Tour" in 2019, where he quickly sold out theaters and added shows in almost every market, Bert is launching a brand new tour in 2020, "The Berty Boy Tour," where he will do shows in even larger venues across the country.

- "Agrippina", February 29In the Met’s first-ever performances of Agrippina, Handel’s satire of sex and power politics, Sir David McVicar reconceives a production he originally created for the Monnaie in Brussels in 2000, evoking a scandalous world in which the Roman Empire never fell but simply kept going right up to the present. Holding a distorted mirror to contemporary society (as Handel did when he staged this opera), the production presents the corrupt intrigues of the political classes, brought to life by Joyce DiDonato as the power-hungry empress Agrippina, Brenda Rae as the scheming, seductive Poppea, and Kate Lindsey as the feckless teenager Nerone. Iestyn Davies portrays the ambitious officer Ottone, and Matthew Rose is the emperor Claudius, on whose vacated throne Agrippina is determined to install her son.

- FRANKIE VALLI & THE FOUR SEASONS, Saturday November 16: There’s something about Frankie Valli’s music that makes young people of every generation want to get up and dance.

On the other side of the Atlantic, "You’re Ready Now" and "The Night," which didn’t do anything in the U.S., emerged from dance clubs in the north of England to become huge hits in Europe. Two decades later, in 1994, a dance club remix of "December 1963" climbed to #14 in the U.S. on Billboard Hot 100. In 2000, a French-language Rap version of "December 1963" went to #1 in Paris. And a few years ago – a remix of the Four Seasons’ 1967 hit "Beggin'" became the #1 Dance record in Britain. Valli and the Four Seasons have influenced many other great recording artists. For example, from Barry Gibb: "Frankie Valli to me has become one of the hallmark voices of our generation. From the deepest emotions of his real voice to the power of his falsetto, he created a style that we all still strive to emulate." From Billy Joel: "I wrote 'Uptown Girl' as the flip side to the story of 'Rag Doll.' I always loved that record." And from Brian Wilson: "In the early 60s the Four Seasons were my favorite group. I thought they were fantastic. The voice blend was fantastic. The competition helped me to get cracking. It inspired me, because they made good music. I went to the piano thinking I could top their music." 8:00PM, $35-$222 Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville CT

Inside Boston underground Poker Part 3
Part 1:
https://www.reddit.com/pokecomments/bfr2pf/inside_boston_underground_poker_part_1/ Part 2:
https://www.reddit.com/pokecomments/bfvdp3/inside_boston_underground_poker_part_2/ Interlude:
https://www.reddit.com/userobswins/comments/bfyehh/inside_boston_underground_poker_interlude/ So now my apartment had been robbed for the 2nd time within a few months, I had a regular gig dealing 2 nights a week at Andy's game outside of Chinatown, and I was playing 3 or 4 nights a week at Moon's game in Back Bay. Moon and I had gotten to be pretty close friends, I tended to hang out until the game broke and then we'd go out and grab breakfast after. He was a really interesting guy, and super smart, but with really strange ways of looking at things. I was told later that his mom had killed herself after some huge gambling losses, so maybe that explains some of his erratic thoughts.
I liked the rhythm I was in, I was making great money and enjoying myself a decent amount, but I realized some people at Moon's game were a little annoyed with my style. As I mentioned in part 1, I was known for hitting and running games. If I made a certain amount for the night, I'd usually stop playing and just hang out talking with Moon or other people who were waiting to get in the game. Moon had some game system in the side room with a big screen TV, so I'd mess around on there, smoke with Moon, etc.
I decided maybe people wouldn't be so pissed about that if I wasn't there so often, so I started diversifying my games a bit. Ron had connections all over, so one day he took me over to a game in South Boston. For those who haven't seen movies like The Departed, Southie is known for a huge Irish population. The game in question was held at a VFW and was run by the Irish mob. Now if you haven't played in underground games you might be thinking to yourself, if you can play in games like Moon's game where the guy running it is just some goofy libertarian conspiracy nut stoner, why would you play with dangerous people like the Irish mob?
The answer is that the mob game was the safest in town, even safer than Andy's game. No Boston cop is going into Southie to bust up an Irish mob game. No one is stupid enough to try to rob an Irish mob game. It really was a good place to play. It wasn't as plush as some of the other places since it was inside a VFW, but the mob guys were as friendly as can be, we were their customers! There's nothing quite like some mob lackey coming over and asking if you want them to make you another sandwich or bring you another beer. It was a bit surreal.
My favorite character from the VFW game was this short Irish guy whose name I can't remember. He talked CONSTANTLY, nervous little chatter, always complaining about "flop lag" (that his cards from the previous hand would have been good on the current flop) or commenting about how he'd have made a big hand if he'd have called preflop. He was a really good poker player, very astute. He'd constantly come up with great reads on players and make impressive calls. I once asked why he didn't play at Foxwoods which was the closest casino to Boston at the time so that he could play bigger games. It turns out that on top of being a great poker player, the guy was also a compulsive thief. He was banned from casinos and games far and wide for stealing chips off of people's stacks while they were in the bathroom, or just had their backs turned. Imagine having the skill to win hundreds of thousands of dollars a year playing poker, and being relegated to a $1/3 game because you can't help but steal $5 from your neighbor's stack while he's pissing. The guy was insane.
Speaking of Foxwoods, one night Moon's game was breaking early for some reason and a guy asked if I wanted to go with him to Foxwoods. I was hesitant, because it's a 21 year old casino, but he insisted that they never card people if you go in through the poker room entrance. I decided to give it a shot, and it turned out he was right, I never got carded coming in that way. I found that the $2/5 game there was a nitfest, but the $5/10 $2k max buyin game was full of maniacs and drunks on the weekend. I had found a new place to diversify my play.
It turned out that Ron and his friend who was solid too would go to Foxwoods pretty often, so we started going there every couple of weeks. I'd go out there alone sometimes as well, the action was just insane. One Friday I bought in for $1k on the $5/10 game and had the session of a lifetime. This drunk guy kept buying in for $2k, running it up to $5k by sucking out on people and playing like a maniac, and then would dump it to me. I ended up playing for 36 hours straight at the table, from 8pm Friday night until 8am Sunday morning (obviously with some bathroom and food breaks, but mostly eating at the table). I left with a bit over $21k.
I actually never played legally at Foxwoods, I only went there when I was underage. It was only an issue a couple of times. To get to the food areas besides the poker cafe, you had to walk out the casino exit. Usually after eating if I walked in like I was supposed to be there, they wouldn't question me. Once a security guard ID'd me and I turned around and walked away, then went outside and back through the poker entrance.
The major issue came one time when I was gone for more than 40 minutes and they picked up my stack. They acknowledged that it was my stack, but said I had to show ID to confirm it for some reason. I ended up bullshitting my way out of it by saying I had left my ID in Boston, and I didn't think it was reasonable for them to ask me to drive 2 hours each way to get my $3k back. In the end a few dealers spoke up and said I was there multiple times a month, and my logic that if I was under 21 they'd be in so much trouble with the gaming commission convinced them to give the chips back and make me go home until I brought my ID. Of course I was back the next week without ID as usual and never had any issue again.
I started getting more into online poker around this time as well. Back in high school I had played online some, and my first big bink came online as I talked about in Part 1 of this story, but between leaving Boston in 2006 and early 2008 where we are at in the story now, I had barely played online, instead focusing on live. I deposited $600 on Full Tilt and played a few tables of 200nl. I was playing like a total maniac, so far from my normal style live, but I was crushing it! I lost the first 2 $600 deposits, but the 3rd one I ran up to $18k, rising in stakes to $400nl and 600nl. I was turning 21 in May, so my dream was to win a seat into the WSOP Main and be the youngest ever to win. One day in March or April, both Stars and Full Tilt were having crazy satellites to the Main, I believe the FTP one paid like 250 seats and the Stars paid 100 seats, both with buyins of like $600. I bombed out of the Stars tourney, but made a deep run on Full Tilt. It was down to 10 people until the bubble, so everyone was just folding until forced all in pretty much. I was down to about 4bb and picked up AQs, and knowing I couldn't just fold my way in I shoved from the cutoff. The button was sitting on about 7bbs and most likely could have folded his way in, but for some reason he called over half his stack with A6o and nailed the 6 right on the flop, crushing my dreams.
I cashed out $12k and left $5k to play with, but ended up donking that off playing $1000nl against actual good players and running into big hands. I decided to put e-checks on my account so I didn't have the $600 max daily deposit that the other options gave. Instead I could now deposit $2500/day if I wanted to, and I lost $2500 the first day, then won $3000 the 2nd day and decided I was playing too gambly and cashed out the $5500 I had on there. Once again I had cooled on online poker and was grinding live, and mostly forgot about my Full Tilt account for the time being.
It was now late April, our lease was up at the end of May, and I decided I would move out to Las Vegas for the summer and grind cash at the WSOP. I said my goodbyes to everyone in the scene, I had no plans to move back to Boston. I had some good times there, but overall I was ready for a change of scenery. I had around $150k at this point, I had made a ton of money over the past year, but also spent tens of thousands on bullshit, and gambled away a ton in the pits at Foxwoods and Turning Stone. Back before I moved to Israel in 2006, I had decided to open up a Charles Schwab account to put my money in and invest it. I kept most of my money in the market, making some aggressive plays and investing on margins, but doing well as the market rose. In 2008 the market started doing poorly, but I was making enough in poker to make up for it, and I made some profitable moves shorting airline stocks. I left Boston for Vegas feeling pretty good and wondering where life would go next.
When I arrived in Vegas, I looked at my Schwab account which was the account I had connected to FTP for e-checks. There were 5 deposits for $2500 each, one each day for the 5 days I had been driving from Boston to Vegas. I was confused as I hadn't deposited for over a month at this point. I called FTP support and the person on the line would only tell me that the IP address I had deposited from was the same I had deposited from the month before, but a different computer was used. Still a bit confused, but with a suspicion of what may have happened, I called Rich. Before I could even really ask, Rich made some comment about how his laptop had been stolen the past week from his girlfriend's apartment. I then called FTP support back and said I believed the transactions had been fraudulent. I asked if since they could tell which computer had logged in with my account, could they also tell me if other accounts had ever logged in from that computer. They told me they weren't supposed to, but they basically confirmed that the laptop that logged in and made the deposits on my account was the laptop regularly used to log in on Rich's account. They also confirmed yet again that the deposits were made from the same IP we both regularly logged in from. For Rich's story to be believable, someone had stolen his laptop from his girlfriend's place miles away, taken it to our apartment and logged in from there. I finally realized what a lying piece of shit Rich was, and some things he had done in the past clicked for me. I realized the 2nd burglary of our apartment was completely fabricated, he had taken my PS3, PSP, games and DVDs and probably pawned them all.
I called the number on the back of my Schwab debit card and told them the transactions were fraudulent. They required me to get a police report, so I had a fun few hours with LVPD explaining that my roommate in Boston had stolen money from me through my online poker account while I was driving. I sent the police report over, and about a month later Visa refunded my $12,500. They said they would do an investigation into Rich, but never gave me any updates about what happened. I brought this story up on this forum once before and someone who knew Rich growing up responded, and they think he was never arrested for it, so I guess he got away with the scam and Visa ate the $12,500 loss. The person from
/poker did say they think they last heard he was homeless in San Francisco, so that's a bit of justice I suppose.
I could continue this story, but it would no longer be about Boston underground poker, it would be about Vegas live poker.

What are your thoughts of Asians and their culture of gambling?
Let me preface by saying that I've gotten heavily interested in "western" card games called NHLE/PLO (respectively, No Limit Hold 'Em, Pot-limit Omaha...with basic understanding of PLO8/Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-lo) for the past 8 months or so when my friend (who is non-Asian if that matters) got me comp'd into a charity poker event for his town's community youth organization/center. I've learned Chinese poker from him, but I don't know how to play any Chinese/Asian card games or Mahjong, nor do I really care or have an interest to learn. On the whim, being tired of playing casual heads-up/short-handed home poker games with friends, pub poker tournaments, and online, I decided to make a trek by myself to play 1-2 NLHE down at Foxwoods, the largest casino in the eastern hemisphere located in Connecticut, or a ~two-hour bus ride from Boston for me.
For those who aren't familiar, up in the Northeast there are "Chinatown buses" from Boston and NYC area that shuttle folks to Foxwoods, which was my first choice because of the lower fare cost (~$15 round-trip which includes a meal voucher and $45 match-play coupon) but unfortunately was sold out to a casino in RI, was constricted to a five-hour playing window, and I didn't want to wait two hours for one departing for Mohegan Sun (another adjacent casino to Foxwoods in CT, a 20 minute drive away). I booked a last-minute one-way ticket with Greyhound instead leaving me with an open window for my return trip instead. After I busted two bullets (poker term for or two buy-ins), I had a lot of reflections and introspection about my game-play, but more specifically, I had more the culture of gambling with Asians.
As for family, for which we are of Chinese heritage, and gambling, my father plays Chinese card games and baccarat and my dad's obsession with gambling was a catalyst for my mom's divorce against him; my mother would scold him for taking me to the Chinatown gambling parlors when I was a kid. For my community, I grew up in a large population ethnic immigrant Chinese folks, and it's not uncommon to see grandma's playing Mahjong for pennies, to seeing my neighbor's mom in Chinatown going to the gambling parlor. My grandpa gambles everyday at his family association. My uncle before becoming half-paralyzed played OTB, and his wife's, my aunt by marriage, parents work at one of the aforementioned casinos. My aunt in the PNW is a blackjack dealer.
Now a while back, when I played in a pub poker league tournament, after busting-out, I got into a chat an old lady where we talked about our respective lives and why we played, me playing online, why she didn't, and what stakes we won't play. I talked about how Chinese/Asians love to play big games (Pai Gow poker) against the bankehouse, while contrasting my reasons for liking Hold 'Em. The conversation at one point shifted towards her essentially asking, "why do Asians love to gamble so much?" An innocent but genuinely question out of curiosity that struck and made a lasting impression on me since then.
Being of Chinese heritage, and in an enivornment of relevency, I suppose I was a person to answer such question. My recollected thoughts... I answered with the encounter I had with a Fasten driver (an ride-share underdog to UbeLyft) around that time earlier. In that conversation for which we both spoke Cantonese, we talked about mutual Chinese heritage and what my parent's did for a living, where we both lived, but more specifically, I told him about my parent's divorce and how gambling was a catalyst for divorce. Hearing me out, he address the "issue" with grace by speaking on the collective behalf of blue-collar immigrants who work in restaurants and whatnot, for which he did and my father did, that there wasn't much of an outlet for entertainment/socializing after work, especially working erratic hours and schedules. He made the comparison that they can't go to the local cinema/theater and enjoy an American movie, referencing the cultural differences that confine them into their ethnic enclaves.
During that Fasten ride with the middle-aged Chinese father-driver (about my dad's age), who also tried to recruit my father to drive for the company, opened up my worldview about the possible reasons why a majority Chinese, with our particular interest, why immigrant Chinese in America, like to gamble. I amassed more empathetic and compassion for the plight of Chinese immigrants and their lack of post-work social outlets. I loosened up to having animosity toward my dad for gambling so much when I was younger, which I was influenced by my mother's inappropriate complaints at the dinner-table of just us about my father. And of course, now that I've recently got interested in card games on my initiative, I am less (hypo)critical about my dad's gambling.
With respects Asian gamblers in my observation, for Texas Hold 'Em, I've noticed at my recent trip to Foxwoods and before that the handful of trips to New Hampshire card-rooms (there are no legal card-rooms in the Commonwealth of MA) that I see a lot of Asian players make blatantly "gamble-y" plays. With coach buses departing at various hours of the day from Chinatown and Chinese enclave towns/communities, there's opportunity and demand to from Asians to gamble. My Caucasian friend who re-introduced me to poker made a stereotypical joke about Asians and how they like love to gamble, nonetheless the lady from pub poker who were curious about the why of Chinese and their gambling habits. It is recognized as a fact that there is a disproportionate amount of Asian gamblers relative to their American counterparts with pathological gambling addictions,, but many do not seek help for gambling addictions. And I believe the resources and mental health professionals are far and few for Asian gamblers.
Anyways, I have never seen much, if any at all, discussion or articles about Asians and gambling on this sub but I believe it's an important topic worthy of discussion. I do wonder about the other fathers, mothers, relatives, or even yourself, who has an interest in gambling. Has it been a catalyst for familial dis-harmonies as it did for mine? Did it spur you to get interested in gambling yourself? What are y'alls thoughts on the cultural factors for Asians and gambling? How was your childhood shaped by a family member who was severely addicted to gambling, or was it a casual affair? All and any discussions relevant to Asians and gambling are welcomed. So let's discuss.
