LVA Question of the Day - 10 JUL 2011
Q: You have two amazing-looking poker books just out-Decide
to Play Great Poker by Annie Duke and The Raiser's Edge by
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. I'm sure they both live up to
billing, but why did Annie have a half-dozen book signings
in conjunction with the World Series of Poker while ElkY
had none?

[vpFREE] LVA Question of the Day - 10 JUL 2011
[vpFREE] Re: New Game Suggestion for FrankNBobs
How about Bonus Deuces Wild, they have two quarter progressive banks at South Point (their closest competitor) and get plenty of play. You want a game that people are not ultra familiar with (like Jacks or Better) but not so obscure (like All American and 2 Pair Joker) that they will only get played when they are positive by professionals.
