When Stan learned that his golfing partner at Stonebrooke today was a professional gambler from the West Coast, he knew exactly what to do next. He brought Bob Lund, who's made his living playing poker since 1976, home to Kathleen for a beer, a photograph and a few stories about the poker legends that he knows personally.
The two hit it off immediately, yakking away about poker stars like Daniel Negreanu, Annie Duke, Phil Helmuth, Greg Raymer, Layne Flack, Doyle Brunson, Joe Hachem, Gus Hanson and others. Bob is single and staying in the Twin Cities area for a while, seeing friends and playing some games. Oh yes, he's a pretty good golfer too, and has a tee time with Stan again tomorrow. (They won't be playing for money.)
