“Linda Geenen has been blogging about poker for a long time, for longer than I even knew what a blog was.
“She’s a dealer at the Bellagio. I remember some long ago threads on rec.gambling.poker about her making posts full of gossip about the players in the big game (that she sometimes dealt) and getting in trouble with management about.
“Well, duh. If you work in the hospitality industry, even in a non-professional job like dealing, you are expected to perserve the privacy of the guests. That’s pretty much the way things work. Poker dealers with blogs aren’t exempt.
“But she’s still there, at least she didn’t lose her job over such extreme non-professional behavior.”
*edit* In order not to violate Gary Carson’s rights – on any subject – please let me add that I copied and pasted content from his site. And that he’s added a comment to the section below. Please read it! You will then know that I am a vain, egotistical, assholess that has never done anything right in life except whine.
Gary, are you absolutely sure that there was no list when he told me there wasn’t one?

You might want to check on copyright law. You copied a portion of a post of mine and made no comments at all. Just copied and republished. I’m pretty sure that’s not fair use.
I’m wondering why you didn’t copy any part of the post that related to the main point of the post — which is that for years you’ve just whined about how everybody but you screwed up and ruined your life.
Like the post my post referred to — you didn’t do your job, and then whined that a coworker didn’t do his job —- but he actually did do his job.
Are you really that vain and indifferent to others?
Linda is one of the few people who actually tells it like it is. Her opinions are just that, opinions, but when she states a fact, you can book it. And who is this Carson guy anyway?
Congratulation, everyone finally gets a G.C. trashing. He’s a demi-troll. He can make good poker post but is at his best in the OT: threads. There he’ll take any to task if they are the slightest bit off of his beliefs. When he gets caught; he isn’t wrong because he now redefines the question.
A Carson trashing doesn’t quailfy you for bupkus. You post there, youll get Carson’s wrathbefore long — his trashings are about as unique as breathing.

How many times must Linda profess that her blog is for her pleasure?
Gary, I gave you a link – you said what you wanted to say in your post – no problem from my side of it. But you are the one that is starting rumors, I have NEVER been cautioned or counseled at work over the contents of my blog. You should check out the facts before you start making noise.
I choose not to go through the whole gist of your posts and dissect them with a reply because they aren’t worth the effort. You did not hurt my feelings. You are, in fact, humorous with your attacks on everyone and their lives, while yours appears to remain pristine and close to sainthood as you lash out at everyone trying to claim your place in Internet history.
I do not read your site. I visited simply because a friend of mine told me you were trashing me on your blog. Trash away. I won’t go back because I don’t give a damn what you write about. Rave on and peace to you.
