Poker Tip
Poker is after all a game of chance.
Don Johnson’s massive blackjack wins in Atlantic City ( see article above ) illustrate the degree of luck that is needed even with a massive bank roll and card counting skills.
If its your lucky night “ press “ your luck.
If its not your lucky night, don’t walk away
Run!!!!!
