Is Peaks Social Club the Next Big Thing in the Dallas Poker Scene? Competing against the big dogs of poker in Texas such as Texas Card House isn’t easy for any card room. But there’s a brand-new spot — Peaks Dallas Social Club — that is worth the visit. Local poker players Kim Fortini (Stone) and her husband Hayden Fortini opened the new room at 1231 Wycliff Suite 100, a short drive from downtown Dallas, about two months ago. PokerNews stopped by the poker club earlier this month to meet with the owners to check it out, and we came away with the impression that there’s potential for growth.

Should You Straddle? According to GTO Wizard No Is The Short Answer Many poker games allow straddles. You only have to watch an episode of High Stakes Poker or a Hustler Casino Live cash game stream to see straddles in action. A straddle is where a player voluntarily posts a blind bet when they are not in the small or big blind. Straddles tend to be twice the size of the big blind, with an under-the-gun staddle being the most common. The boffins, or should that be wizards, behind GTO Wizard recently delved deep into whether or not you should straddle under the gun.

Table Of Contents The son of longtime poker pro Bernard Lee put on a shooting clinic during a UMass women’s basketball game halftime contest that paid the college student $10,000. Or, it should have. Noam Lee had 30 seconds to make a layup, free-throw, three-pointer, and then a half-court shot to win the money. He not only did that, but he made all four shots with time to spare. The sparse crowd inside the Mullins Center in Amherst, Massachusetts erupted after the final shot went through the net.
