Lee Davy writes about a different game of Hold’em known as Tombstone Hold’em, a game that’s played in a graveyard.

The creation of the Global Poker League (GPL) is designed to assuage most of our boredom. If stillness and sadness are the devils of poker, then Alexandre Dreyfus is God, and all Gods need a sacrifice. The man is going out on a limb; I hope nobody saws it off.

His mantra is ‘we will try, we will fail, we will fix.’
