Friday night I headed down to Binion's Horseshoe to speak at BARGE. For those unfamiliar with BARGE, its a group of players that have gathered together for the last 26 years to enjoy their passion, reconnect with friends, and have a great time playing all kinds of crazy forms of poker.
I walked into the room and they were in the midst of a Calcutta. Calcuttas are really fun and I used to do them in the poker rooms I attended as a teenager. It's kind of like fantasy poker. A group of people get together the day before, say, the Super High Roller Bowl and go through the list of entrants one by one, where the highest bidder earns the rights to that player.
