in the late 90.s we used Ray Jr on our B track horses...he had so much talent,,but wasted it with his personal demons...my trainer stopped using him because he thought he stiffed a couple, and not  because of his drinking problem.........b ut nowadays i have no idea his whereabouts

Some like Case and Ray Sr can go on to have great careers in spite of their demons but Ray Jr  his demons ate him up.
Drivers should be drug tested and offered rehab programs

  • dougie: No tournament play there. Two many young cowboys bullying us old guys. Just straight poker. A lot of fun, but you could get hurt if you don't know the players.

  • Trigger: When I refer to cash game I'm thinking non tourn or sit n go, casinos I've played in never let you play for cash only chips but technically a ring game is a cash game too.

  • dougie: Private games are cash only. But the table uses chips to cause no confusion. Buy-in it $1G with 2 other buy in allowed. It is strictly Texas Holdem. Is is no limit but most of the players know each other. No kids playing. I'd say the average age was about 40. Food is included. Usually subs and pizza. Occasionally Chinese food.

  • Trigger: Those are cash games.

  • JT: Is it no limit hold em I am assuming Dougie? tournament style, or cash game?

  • dougie: We had 8 tables going and the 1G prize is every hour. Todays game is the third private game I ever played. I starting to enjoy private games.

  • Trigger: How many tables partake in the 1g prize and is it 30m or an hour?
