Jacksonville’s “Local Legend” Joins the APT Team: Meet Eddy Mroczkowski
In every poker community, there are a handful of players whose names carry weight the moment they walk into the room. Not because they’re loud. Not because they chase attention.

Steve’s Secret Identity REVEALED
I finally figured out why I do so well playing poker in Florida. The reason? I AM FLORIDA MAN. It has taken some time to admit and embrace this. You know the “Florida Man” from the headlines, right?

The Grumpy Professor of Poker: A Tribute to David Sklansky
I was saddened to hear about the passing of David Sklansky. I’m told he wasn’t a perfect human being, but he sure knew the game of poker like no one else. While many players identify with Super/System and the “cowboy” era of Doyle Brunson, what drew me in was the cold, hard logic of The […]

Poker, Killer Rabbits, and Life Lessons from Canadian Road Signs
Living in Florida, I rarely make it up to Canada, but I couldn’t resist hitting a couple poker rooms in Calgary during a recent family trip to the Canadian Rockies.

In my original post, I told the story of discovering an extra $300 in my pocket after a day of poker, and a potential miscount at the cage. That story ended with me debating whether or not to return the money, unsure if I could even prove a mistake had occurred! This one picks up […]
A Derby-Day Miscount: What Would You Do?
Kentucky Derby day is always busy at poker rooms in Florida, but this year it felt like Times Square on New Year’s Eve. For those of you not from Florida, there are at least a dozen poker rooms within two hours of my house, and most of them also have simulcast racing. The racebook crowd […]
