Very good article from the Orange County register on the ever-growing popularity of poker, with a focus on California poker rooms.

Hard-core pro poker players -- men and women who travel the world and often make regular poker incomes of several million bucks a year -- increasingly find themselves staring balefully at mathematicians and writers and housewives at card clubs in places like Bell Gardens and Aruba. The stare is part of the process of making or losing millions in big-stake tournaments, games that increasingly are comfortable enough to interest your garden-variety (if risk-prone) yuppie.

Link (requires registration) BTW, I'm pretty sure there are not more than a handful of pro poker players who regularly make millions per year. If anyone has any estimates on this I'd love to hear them.

In California you need a license to run a card game at a business. Here is the link to the California Gambling Control Commission. Hope the info helps:

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to drop a line to your poker site to let you know about the San Diego Poker Tour. The "Tour" will begin this July 2004 and have monthly events at San Diego area casinos. The events will be televised and offer players of all skill levels the opportunity to play for nice guaranteed pools for modest buy-ins. To be perfectly honest with you, I am one of the founders of SDPT. I just wanted to get the word out to the dedicated poker players that inhabit these sites and love poker the way I do. More information about the San Diego Poker Tour can be found at www.sdpoker.com.

Thanks.
Matthew (Director of Marketing, SDPT)

Not only do men report amazing increases in penis health and stamina, but also they are equally delighted by the sheer intensity and concentrated power of their orgasms.

No penis enlargement system is faster, easier to use, or more effective than MAGNA-RX!
