Thank you to KGANT63 for submitting his article for this week's Player Spotlight. Read his article below...
I’m driving in to work one morning at 7:30 am drinking coffee, smoking a cigarette, talking on the phone and listening to the radio when the DJ says James Woods is going to be the guest. I’m a fan of his so I tell my wife (who I’m talking to on the phone) that I have to let her go so I can listen to the radio.
James comes on and starts talking about this website, HollywoodPoker.com, and how great it is, etc. At this point in the interview I am pulling into the parking lot at work and since I’m not in any rush, I sit and listen to him talk about the site.
When the interview is over I get out of my truck and my boss pulls up next to me (I’m not a fan of his). He looks at me as he drives past with that look your dad gave you when came home an hour late.
So, I get to my desk and all I’m thinking about is checking out this website. In the past year, all my poker buddies have moved away or are married and don’t have time for our bi-weekly game.
Lunch time rolls around I get on the net to check HollywoodPoker.com out. I sign up, then I sign off - I wouldn’t want to play on company time (wink, wink).
About an hour later I go into the boss’ office to drop off some paperwork he wants and he’s not there. I go to set it on his desk and what do I see on his screen? You guessed it: HollywoodPoker.com. I smile and as I turn to walk out, he walks in, looks at me and asks, “Um, can I help you?”
I answer, “No sir” but as I reach his door I turn around and add: “Sir, my handle is KGANT63. I’ll be on tonight. Want to play?”
He replies, “See you at 7”.
Now the bi-weekly poker game is back on and my boss plays with my buddies and I. If we can’t make it to one of our houses, we meet at HollywoodPoker.com and setup a private room to play.
Thank you HP for the chance to play a game I love with old and new friends.
