At this time of year, the Thanksgiving holiday signifies annual traditions and meanings for those of us fortunate enough to live in the United States. My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is saying thank you to all of those who have enriched my life and work over the past year.
A huge heartfelt thanks to all of our great Ante Up fans and readers, because of you our publication has grown to become the No. 1 poker publication nationwide. It’s my goal to keep bringing you the best in poker news and events from the great Oklahoma and Kansas area. Your input and comments are always appreciated and welcome.
Thanks to all of those who are employed in the poker industry; you work hard so we can play. Your dedication and high standards have played a major role in the explosive growth and evolution of the game of poker.
