Read MoreI don’t always drink bourbon, but when I do — it’s Southern Comfort.
And then they run out of Southern Comfort — it’s Jim Beam.
And when the Beam’s gone — it’s Maker’s Mark.

Read MoreThere are few people in the casino business I love and admire more than Mr. T.K. Krauss.
This longtime Atlantic City poker executive is a fountain of fascinating stories and useful information, especially when it comes to the East Coast poker scene. If passion came in bottles, “T.K.” would be the Coca-Cola of poker.
T.K. has just taken over as the new Director of Poker Operations for the Atlantic Club. Previously known as the Atlantic City Hilton, this outdated and long-neglected property located at the southern tip of the famed Boardwalk has long been the city’s stepchild casino.
