The world of live high-stakes cash games is generally off limits to us mere mortals. Either the sums of money exchanging hands represent several years of our income, or the games are played in a roped-off, private area of the casino, away from our prying eyes.
High Stakes Poker was a hugely popular TV show because it gave poker fans a view of this off-limits world. We saw massive pots won and lost, pots we could only dream of raking in during our lifetimes. One of the stars of the show, Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu, continues to frequent the biggest cash games in Las Vegas, and thanks to his blog we can relive some of the action through Kid Poker's eyes.
