thank you very much for the translation clarification! obviously google translations can give you a sense of what something says, but very limited.

I’m hungarian and read those articles. I want to point out that there’s no speaking of latvian familys that’s a translation misunderstanding. Latvian means lett in hungarian but it also means something different: “A vizsgÃ¡latok kizÃ¡rtÃ¡k, hogy a tettes egy csalÃ¡dtag lett volna.” Google says: The studies were excluded, that the culprit was a Latvian family. But really its: The studies were exclude the possibility of the cuplrit being a family member!!!

Very interesting to watch Dallas poker move further and further “underground” over the past 5 years….sad indeed.

Dan, I was curious if you had any more info regarding the Houston poker room where the burglar was shot and killed. In particular I was curious if anyone was charged in the case/if the game runner is still around or behind bars.

Love the site.

Most of us who knew James, I think, are hardly surprised. Meaghan happened to cross paths with him at a time where SMU’s drug/alcohol problem had reached a tipping point, as she was one of three students to die of an overdose in a 6-month period.

That first story is unreal! Poker gets such a bad name from things like this. They should have fried him.
