The hook for playing poker in a bar is that, should you be losing, you can drown your sorrows; if you are winning, you can celebrate with a cold one. Oh yeah, you can bet we know our multiple addictions. Whether you’re a degenerate or not, you can beat the odds of a loser night with the weekly tourneys at Mike’s at Venetia. These games are free but, as part of Poker Challenge of America, offer winners a chance to qualify for major tournaments. The bar ups the ante with three-dollar Beck’s. Register by 7:00 p.m. Call 1-800-860-PCOA, or visit www.pokerchallengeofamerica.com.
