If you find the world of professional poker tournaments at once utterly baffling and alluring, this quick-hit list from a seasoned observer might clear up some of the confusion. No, actually it won't. But it's a brief, entertaining read from a true fan.
Some media members hate these loud rails – which is mental, to steal a phrase from our friends across the Atlantic.

I love loud rails, and if the Brits are going to be the only ones causing a ruckus, then God Save the Queen.
