Your correspondent begins with a roundup of recent poker topics, including the Lodge's victory in Texas, the lack of changes (so far) to poker in Los Angeles in the wake of the ban on blackjack in California card rooms, and the new movie "The Highest Stakes," which has little to say about poker but is dumb fun nonetheless. He then reviews a sloppily played $5/$10 session.
