Gary Wise

When I began to get interested in Poker I was very fortunate to be able to write a few "Blogs"-"Articles" at another poker website because I was in Law Enforcement and the editor at the time, had a Father who was Retired Law Enforcement.

He liked what he read and my blogging career only lasted 6 months there and 3 posted articles, but how fortunate I was to reach out to thousands of readers.

I started reading articles at ESPN and Bluff magazine written by Gary Wise. The guy really has a way with words and his articles just flow and are easy to read.

Gary and I met at the 2007 LAPC and then later at the 2007 WSOP. He did a small interview with me about my thoughts on the Ladies Only Event at the WSOP and I never was able to find it and during my e-mails with Gary, he allowed me to start blogging at his site, WWW.Wisehandpoker.com.

It has been close to two years now and I am still blogging at Wisehand and have had some very positive comments from my friends and other readers throughout the world.

In my normal job I have been writing "Police" reports for 22 years. A Police report is a story of sorts with facts regarding a crime. One has to be able to articulate those facts in a clear and concise way so Lawyers and District Attorney's can have their cases filed and get a conviction of a suspect or find the innocence of a Client.

I cannot say how many blogs I have written here at Wisehand but there have been quite a few and now with the capabilities of posting Videos, it will be a lot more interesting and fun bringing you my stories.

Gary Wise,I truly thank you so much for giving this pea in a pod in the Poker World, an opportunity to share my experiences and thoughts with others throughout the World who follow Poker.

It has been quite an honor and I owe it all to you!

Now Mr. Wise tell me why there has to be a "Women's Hall Of Fame" in Poker.

Shouldn't they be inducted into the "Poker Hall of Fame"?

Probably because most of the Women in Poker Hall of Fame wouldn't make the Poker Hall of Fame.

Not really related and I don't remember who said it exactly, but I remember there was a PRR/PWR/Circuit show where someone said "why does there have to be a women-only event? how come there isn't a men-only event?" and someone else replied with "isn't that what the $50k HORSE is?"

There's also a "Women's Baseball Hall Of Fame" for the same reason Lon stated above.

I was unaware of Mr. Wise until I heard him on PokerBeat. His reporting skills are combined with the best poker related interviews I've heard to date. Some truly classic interviews with the likes of Jack Binion are at wisehandpoker.com.
check them out, you won't be disappointed.
