Poker really gets you pissed off sometimes. Just lost 150$ and broke my 350 $ laptop ). Its realy hard to control yoursefl when you lose. I can bet that many poker players destroyed their computers when they lost a important amount of their bankroll and have to go down blinds.

that is very bad news, to beat your wife is already bad, killing her is evil insane. I hope he will get alot years behind bars. He must be locked away for good.

Its a sad story. Well known, running a poker circle, and then becoming associated with a murder. If its true, this old man just ended his wife's life and ruined his son's too, because his business will always be associated with this...

he must be really sick to do such a stupid act. trying to use poker as alibi, dont think he should be allowed again in any of casino anywhere in world.
