More Harrah's craziness -- Richard Jonie banned?

[2Tone]

Following the whole gambling/poker industry is almost as fun as gambling/playing poker. It is just so chock-full of bizarre stories.

Richard Jonie wrote the code for Microsoft Word (, and now plays professionally. He’s claiming that at as result of him running so goot at video poker (), he’s banned from playing from all Harrah’s properties, which of course means he can’t play the WSOP.


Given the original poster, I’m inclined to believe it, as crazy as it sounds. There was a great 2+2 post …

“Can Brodie in turn ban Harrah's from using Word?”

I also can’t help but speculate there is more to this story. Is this guy so smart that he has figured out how to beat video poker, which, as he writes, is theoretically impossible? Sure seems that Harrah’s thinks so …

"Jonie?" Multiple typos? You mean Brodie, yes?

I'm the proud owner of an "I busted Quiet Lion" tshirt. Boo-yah. Take that, Word Boy.
