Good article. Do you ever get feedback from readers or from Poker News staff? I mean like how many people read it and things like that.

I occasionally look at the number of Facebook likes and shares something has received, but that's about it. I generally have no idea how popular a particular article has been.

I'm out in Vegas and the guy I came with was playing cash here at The Rio in the $1/3 NL game. He picked up the 2c4c in the big blind. Of course he and I talk, and he's aware of the power of The Grump, so he called a $12 bet. Four saw a flop of A-5 both clubs and another card I don't remember. The turn not only was a 3, it was a CLUB!! for the Steel Wheel.

Another player had K-x, both clubs for the nut flush, and before you know they are both all in. Besides stacking her for $300, the Casino was having a promotion and he also got $100 from them for the straight flush.
