Here\’s the story from the McAllen Monitor about the assistant principal who got busted running weekly 5-table tourneys in his house. (Thanks, Carlos, for the link!) Man, naturally I\’d be inclined to defend the likes of Jose Luis Esquivel like all get out … but really, the ridiculous neighborhood parking situation, and the two small bags of cocaine … just makes matters worse. Kinda takes away the educator\’s argument that poker might be good for kids. And makes me wonder if this was less a case of a good poker room bumpin\’ uglies with the overzealous law and more a matter of man who doesn\’t really know much about running a poker room and living off a public high-school salary getting addicted to a growing rake.
Would have to see Esquivel\’s blind structure, however, before we can really pass judgment on him.
Gives a whole new meaning to Crime doesn’t pay, stay in school? or is it the other way around?
