I'm sure there are quite a few online poker players on the good ship NSC (perhaps we should have a tournament?).

Some of my wunnerful academic chums at MIT have set up a course on poker, it's an opportunity to learn some theory and apply it to your advantage.

Ace high!

A few on here used to have a weekly tournament on a Sunday I think.
Would be good to get something like that going again.

Yes - but the same person kept winning every week. Never did find out who "AGB" was... but he seemed pretty good at it

Ages ago I was listening to an interview/chat with Jeff Ma he of Bringing Down The House fame which went onto become the film 21.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bringing_Down_the_House_(book)

Sadly I can't remember the detail but he was fascinating and made it seem like winning millions was the easiest thing in the world to do.

I used to enjoy the Sunday night NSC poker sessions. I'm happy to get something up and running again.
