A little history. According to Wikipedia…
The United States Playing Card Company suggests that in the past, the King of Hearts was Charlemagne, the King of Diamonds was Julius Caesar, the King of Clubs was Alexander the Great, and the King of Spades was the Biblical King David.

I just started this website. If you like the setup or want something more, let me know. Also, let your other poker playing friends know about it. The quicker we grow the better it’ll be.
My wife, after winning cash two nights in a row, didn’t want me to play tonight so I have no stories. However, there’s 3 tournaments this weekend and I’m sure I’ll get into at least one of them.
More to come
