The Seniors Poker Group and guests recently enjoyed two special poker events at the Claude Pepper Senior Citizen Center in Los Angeles as part of a current series of classes focused on “Six Ways to be Sure You are a LOSER,” taught by me. On Aug. 19, high-stakes poker pro Yosh Nakano—founder of the International Poker Players Association—recalled his experiences playing against some of the top poker players, including Doyle Brunson, the late Stu Ungar, and Johnny Chan, as well as in Larry Flynt’s very high stakes home games. On September 2, our special guest was Barbara Enright, the only woman elected to the Poker Hall of Fame and the only woman to ever reach the final table at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event.She was introduced by poker author/columnist/reporter and humorist Max Shapiro, famed for creating the nefarious Big Denny poker character. He noted Enright’s outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the poker world. She is one of the 14 women who co-authored the new book, Winning Women of Poker—Secret Strategies Revealed, to support Fallen Heroes USA, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Special Olympics of Nevada, and the Step by Step Foundation.
Enright answered many questions posed by the audience at the special poker event at the Claude Pepper Senior Citizen Center in Los Angeles and promised to return in the near future. After her talk on Winning Poker and the Q&A, door prizes donated by the Hollywood Park Casino (Inglewood), and the Normandie and Hustler casinos (Gardena) were awarded. As a thank-you from the Seniors Poker Group, she too received a copy of Green’s new book plus a copy of The Greatest Book of Poker for Winners by Epstein and Dr. Dan Abrams.
