5-Dec-05. Put me in, coach… all in! Edmonton Journal, D12.

Poker coach Grant Kendall of Edmonton is profiled in this article that discusses basic game strategies. Kendall notes that in poker, unlike other casino gambling, players are competing against others at the table instead of against the house. He also says that Edmonton has become a hotbed for the game and mentions the city’s blue collar nature, long winters, and sports mentality as possible explanations for this popularity. PokerPulse estimates that more than 1.8-million people play poker each month and that the poker industry generates $2.2-billion in annual gross revenue.
