Nolan Dalla 1990 Bucharest Romania

 

Daniel Negreanu played in a major poker tournament last week, which was on the Eureka Poker Tour.

Such an occurrence normally wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary.  This is especially true for Daniel — who travels all over the world playing poker and speaking out as the game’s premier ambassador.  The news from Europe probably wouldn’t have caught my attention at all, except for one rather significant fact.

The poker tournament was held in Bucharest, Romania — a fascinating city where Daniel and I share some common bonds and a very different set of roots.  I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say that, in contrasting ways, Romania was and shall always be an impressionable part of our lives.  To some degree, that faraway place in Eastern Europe made us into what we are today.

My private stock of wine includes several bottles that shouldn’t be in the house.

Life can be so full of challenges.

Nolan-Dalla-1967

 

Yes, that’s me.  Age 5.  1967.

I can’t say where and when exactly my infatuation with games of skill and chance first began, but it probably happened inside the crib.  That wasn’t a baby rattler I was shaking.  It was a pair of dice.
