It’s been a while since I’ve written about poker. I have pondered the idea of starting a separate poker blog, but I think not. After all, the name of this one is “Trips, Chips, and Flips,” and you need chips to play poker! I dealt Saturday and decided to violate a rule of mine, playing […]
This is awesome. No text really needed. Just watch this big teddy bear get steamed about not having his chicken sandwich! Enjoy!
It is a sad day. It has been for quite a while, but I see it more and more. Most of you know that I play a great deal of poker. Mostly in Houston, some in Lake Charles, some in Vegas, Baltimore, and Shreveport. My sporadic monthly home game is still good, and there are […]

Last Saturday was my monthly poker match. Well, now that I have two monthly games at different locations I don’t really know what to call it. I’ll go with, “First Saturday Game” since it occurs on the first Saturday of every month. We usually start at 1pm but this time we had a late start. […]
