A Very True Tale of Online Poker

And the fine line between addiction and success

As Kevin pointed out … great story (like true narrative from a non-poker person who kinda gets poker) in the New York Times Magazine about a mother trying to come to grips with her son\’s extensive online poker play … and the transition from successful scholar-athlete to internet poker pro.

(What\’s a mom to do when cutting a 19-year-old kid off financially carries no weight — other than follow his chipstack online while he\’s playing live in the EPT?)
