Vegas poker rooms. <br /><br />Robert helped write the original Hilton poker rule book, which was then copied and adopted all over town. And that's where the online version of the rules originated. <br /><br />I've looked at several pages of CET property rule books and compared 'em and they matched word for word for long stretches. You could see a few places where a word or two had been altered, but it was almost an exact duplicate of what's available online.<br /><br />Knowing that the rules you're referencing are very likely to match the rules in actual use in Vegas poker rooms is useful. <br /><br />Apollonoreply@blogger.com
