I swear, everywhere I go, there is a Deaf Texas Hold ‘em game going on!

By Greg Randall

I went to Montreal, a city where they didn’t speak English or sign ASL and I found a Deaf Texas Hold ‘em game. I found them at Deaf Weddings too. Said the bride to the groom on their wedding night, “I’m going to the bed, dear.” “I’ll come after the game” replied the groom. Deaf clubs every where – with racks of chips and cards in the cupboard and folding felt card tables ready for those big weekend games. Deaf Texas Hold ‘em games are even found online with Deaf players battling it out on weekly basis. And at all those games, every single one of them, they all talk about “The Big Game” and I swear, at every Deaf Texas Hold ‘em games, I find players who I would shake their hand and say “See you in Atlantic City baby!”

Montreal, with their own style will come. Rochester home games, see you in Atlantic City. The brutes from SICD and BSD I’ll meet you there. They will be coming from the Midwest and the South too. Texas will be representing itself very well as well. Online players everywhere will unplug and make their way to the city on the shore. I know for a fact that there will even be an eager beaver coming all the way from Bay Area in California. DC/MD/VA area will be there ready to fight at the Big Game. Even non-players will come as fans and to have a great time too.

Do not miss out.
