But not here.

Warning! Do Not Eat at this Restaurant!

I did this not just once, but twice. Once on Saturday, and again a second time on Sunday.

Are Fish and Sharks Swimming in Different Tanks at PartyPoker?
Read MoreImagine walking into a live poker room and signing up for a game.
You get asked, “Are you a beginning player or an experienced player?”
You answer, “I’m an experienced player.”
Based solely on that response, your name is placed onto a segregated list containing just the veteran players. Beginning poker players have their own set of tables and games to choose from. It’s like having adult tables and kiddie tables at a picnic.
If you encountered something like this, would you stick around and still play?
This is apparently really happening. And it’s not taking at some tiny cardroom in the middle of nowhere. Based on recent reports, PartyPoker — once the largest online poker site in the world — may very well be quarantining its players based on levels of experience.
