in the past


I think there's a growing novelty with old-school poker games, given the medium has basically fully transitioned to an online, mostly mobile format with tons of microtransactions and actual gambling. My roommate found a copy of this game for four dollars on Ebay and the game makes for an infinitely more interesting and safe social activity than any virtual poker platform would nowadays.

It's also really funny that there was a character named Ted Kaye who wore a hoodie

Sguog Pyn Austrian poker player who has smoked 100 cigarettes a day since age 1 won the 2005 Texas Hold'em World Championship with a record breakng 246 All-Ins, half of then against his final opponent Scotty Nguyen winning an astounding 13,986,000 dollars that will all go towards his crippling habit.

-.5 stars for flopping an ace high straight and losing to 10-4 off-suit, but at least i didn't lose to the unabomber-inspired character
