I'm not a poker player 365 days a year. I also own a chain of retail stores in the Bronx and I tend to them when I'm home in New York City. This year they did extremely well and I'm very happy. Sometimes, to acquire inventory for my stores, I attend auctions and over the holidays I heard about one out on Long Island. A small convenience store went bankrupt and I drove out there to bid on some items. I arrived early and walked around, shaking hands, greeting people...more

Holiday hibernation
Happy holidays, everyone. It's kind of a quiet period for me poker-wise -- I'm "hibernating," you might say. I'm playing online some and am really looking forward to the PCA in January, but right now I have a few other things on my plate. People know I work a lot...more
Science, charity, and water polo

WCOOP 2010: WSOP was good - now for WCOOP
by Victor Ramdin I predicted I was going to have a big World Series this year, and I came through for myself. I had the best World Series of my life. I had six cashes in only 16 events, and one final table. I cashed for over $75,000 total which,...more
New kid on the block, by Victor Ramdin
Who is your favorite New Kid on the Block? No offense to Jordan, Jonathan, Joey, or Danny, but Donnie will always be my favorite. Not because he was the one who always wore the Yankees hat (though I am a New Yorker and I do appreciate it) but because of the...more
A great PCA and improved online play, by Victor Ramdin
They say we can tell how many weeks of winter we have left by whether or not a groundhog sees his shadow. Well, I can always tell how well my poker year is going to go based on how well I do at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. Things went pretty...more
