Poker History of Bexar County


For the most part the boss gamblers who thrived in Texas in the 1950s and 1960s were congenial to outsiders who wanted to sit in their games. As long as you didn’t get caught cheating or shoot anyone, you were usually welcomed with open arms. However, things were a little different in Bexar County, where Tom Moore, Slim Lambert, and Red Berry were the boss gamblers for over a decade. They were a bit more proprietary than their peers, and for good reason.

Houston Home Game Shooting Leaves Man Dead


Most poker players, if the play the game for a while, learn to take table talk and bad beats with an unspoken sportsmanship. It's a shame when things get out of hand and it puts a tarnished on the game as a whole and and the people that play it.

Poker-The All American Game



America has long been called the melting pot, in which the world's immigrants come together and become a nation, proud and strong. When you think of a melting pot, it brings forth images of precious metals heated down to their molten form and put in the molds to solidify. The roots of poker reach back to European aristocrats. Poker is a true product of the American spirit. Those who battle so diligently to keep others from this sport. I truly believe do not know its history or its effect on those who have played, and will continue to play. Just as our fathers and their fathers fought for freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So we must muster up the troops and do battle against those who would keep us from those freedoms. Poker has a rich and deep history, I feel should be imparted.

The rumors of HB 222's reality perhaps a little premature.

Well, you have to hand it to Chuck Blount. he does seem to be on the right side. Though I do think he's a little over optimistic. What with Gov. Perry's attempts to block a vote in the Texas House of Representatives. Plus, his promise that even if it passes the House. He will veto any gambling bill that crosses his desk.
