April 2nd, 2025 Newsletter Denali isn't the only thing getting a name change this year. Everyone get your chips in the rack , line up single file, and follow me to our new room. We are going to be moving our entire operation to a new club.  Don't worry, it will still be on PokerStars, it will still be a no rake inexpensive game, and it will be just as much if not more fun.  There will be some minor tweaks but we will get to those in the next newsletter.
