Lee Davy shares his opinion that cheating in poker is a normal part of the game. One that we need to start accepting or go and play Bridge with your grandparents.

Rayontra McCall runs up to the driver’s side of Chad Nelson’s car and punches him in the face. As his fist crunches into a mass of flesh and bone, Nelson shoots McCall twice in the chest. He falls to the floor, dust flies into the air. His eyes close. They never open again. A life cut short by a game of poker.

This is what happened outside Willy’s Bar in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, earlier this week. Moments earlier the pair were playing poker when McCall’s uncle accused Nelson of cheating. He denied it. The pair decided to settle the matter outside. The consequences of that dispute were fatal.

I know what you’re thinking.
