Three Rivers Poker: Wheeling Island poker room getting a new location, new name
http://threeriverspoker.blogspot.com/2011/12/wheeling-island-poker-room-getting-new.html
Saturday, December 31, 2011. Wheeling Island poker room getting a new location, new name. Wheeling Island's nine-table poker room will soon be moving upstairs in a casino redesign that will eliminate all gaming on the building's lowest level. Director of Table Games Mike Tusken confirmed Saturday that the move was in the works. Tusken said the final design of the new poker area is not yet complete but that it would be rechristened the Darvin Moon Poker Room, after the 2009 WSOP Main Event runner-up.

Three Rivers Poker: The Meadows poker room: First impressions
http://threeriverspoker.blogspot.com/2010/07/meadows-poker-room-first-impressions_20.html
Tuesday, July 20, 2010. The Meadows poker room: First impressions. Let's get this out of the way first: Yes, it's considerably nicer than Wheeling Island. The Meadows room is bigger, brighter and more relaxing. Tables are spaced apart and surrounded by comfy leather chairs that even recline a tiny bit. Room rules seemed standard. Like in Wheeling, The Meadows uses a traveling button, which is fine by me as long as the dealer understands the rule and how to enforce it. Also, you don't have to post...By no...

Three Rivers Poker: Can't a guy get a spade?!
http://threeriverspoker.blogspot.com/2013/06/cant-guy-get-spade.html
Sunday, June 30, 2013. Can't a guy get a spade? Here's a nausea-inducing hand from a $1/3 NLHE session at Rivers on Saturday night. The kind of hand that has you saying "if only" for a week afterward. There are three villains in this hand, who we will call Larry, Moe and Curly . because why not? Flop came Q♠-J ♥. Well, here we go . Turn came the J ♦. River came the 6 ♥. Leaving me with ace high. Both players checked again. The only thing left to do was see who was getting all of my money. We can debate h...

Three Rivers Poker: Hey, the Rivers poker room has its own restrooms now!
http://threeriverspoker.blogspot.com/2013/03/hey-rivers-poker-room-has-its-own.html
Sunday, March 24, 2013. Hey, the Rivers poker room has its own restrooms now! About the distance of the nearest urinals when Rivers opened, restrooms are now available on the room's back-right side. I had a nice little $1/3 NLHE session today. Won $190 in three hours, mostly thanks to one hand. Limped in from early with A ♦. No raisers behind. Flop: K ♦. Well, that escalated quickly. Dealer, please don't pair the board, and, buddy, if you've got Q ♦. Then god bless ya. River came the 2 ♦. Running v. ...

Three Rivers Poker: It's possible I'm a huge asshole
http://threeriverspoker.blogspot.com/2015/03/its-possible-im-huge-asshole.html
Saturday, March 7, 2015. It's possible I'm a huge asshole. In mid-position. There were a few limpers in front of me, and I raised it up to $13. A whopping six players called behind me. I started shit-talking as everyone was throwing their chips in. Oh, come on," I said. "I've got a monster here. What are you guys doing? No one ever believes me when I raise. I'm about to teach you all an important lesson.". Everyone chuckled. Again, it was a fun table. Flop came K ♥. My hand was made on the flop. I basica...

Three Rivers Poker: Wheeling players are just as crotchety as I remember
http://threeriverspoker.blogspot.com/2013/01/wheeling-players-are-just-as-crotchety.html
Monday, January 28, 2013. Wheeling players are just as crotchety as I remember. Two and a half years passed and it never happened, though. Until Sunday, that is, when I had to make a rare trip to Wheeling for an unrelated matter and talked my father into joining me for a short session at Wheeling Island. I was curious to see it, as I hadn't played there since before they shuttered. Their old downstairs poker room (which originally featured 20 tables) and opened. 8♠. Well, hello nuts. You flop a straight?

Three Rivers Poker: My table hit the Bad Beat!!!
http://threeriverspoker.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-table-hit-bad-beat.html
Sunday, November 2, 2008. My table hit the Bad Beat! Met up with my old man to play $1/2 NL in Wheeling Island today, and less than an hour after I started bitching about people worrying too much about the Bad Beat (for the same reasons I talked about here. My table hit the Bad Beat Jackpot. Long story short, my dad ended up going all-in with his last $70 holding A-K and got called by K-K. Flop came A-J-x. Third ace came on the turn. Case ace came on the river. As if the day couldn't get any better, I or...

Three Rivers Poker: Rivers poker room: First impressions
http://threeriverspoker.blogspot.com/2010/07/rivers-poker-room-first-impressions.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. Rivers poker room: First impressions. Before the area's two new rooms officially opened, I had heard from more than one source ( and passed along here. Which isn't to say that it's not a perfectly fine poker room. 'Cause it is. Though a small cafe does sit right outside the entrance. Than those I've played against so far at The Meadows. There has been some discussion. About the lack of a betting line at Rivers, but having no line didn't create a single problem during my session&#...

Three Rivers Poker: Huge laydown against a friend ... but was it the right decision?
http://threeriverspoker.blogspot.com/2014/03/huge-laydown-against-friend-but-was-it.html
Saturday, March 8, 2014. Huge laydown against a friend . but was it the right decision? Here's an interesting hand from a $1/3 NLHE session I played at The Meadows this past Friday. Jason, a good friend of mine who I play with from time to time, raised it up to $15 from early position. I called with J ♠. One more player sitting behind me called. Flop came A ♣. All three of us checked. Turn came the 10 ♠. So, with that information, do you call or fold? He was on a draw at best! And turned a Broadway strai...
