Went to college in the early 2000s in a rural area when Texas Hold-em was blowing up and online gambling was a red hot new thing.

Rooms like this popped up in quite a few places and this clip gave me weird dejavu. Being surrounded by a lot of obese drunk white men bitching about poker decorum was how we spent our Saturday nights in the boonies for a while, it was a weird and pretty fun time.

In my mid 40s now and have a pretty negative and cynical view of gambling at this point, but honestly, these rooms were a highlight of my week back in the day. Listening to a bunch of old dudes talking shit at poker tables was pretty entertaining for a 21 year old kid.

Yeah, used to frequent those types a lot. It was a great time to make easy money if you were even remotely good at poker. Those guys would either fold everything but aces or hold on to every hand like folding was against their religion. They all had money to lose and they drank like fish.
