Allen Iverson likes his three card poker

According to the Star Tribune, AI wasn’t so lucky at the three card poker table. Forget the fact he was at the Shakopee’s Canterbury Card Club at 11:30 Tuesday night when they had a game against the Timberwolves Wednesday. Iverson and his friends just wanted to have a little fun.
“Iverson, Rasheed Wallace and about six other members of the entourage” were at “a three-card poker table in the casino games room,”
“Sheed didn’t wager, explaining to onlookers, I don’t gamble, but he certainly had fun sipping [beverages] and jabbing at his friends and other players who weren’t doing so hot. AI, on the other hand, had what we call ‘rubber band banks’ in his pockets — must have been around $50,000 (at least in one pocket) and he was getting beat up pretty hard at three-card poker.”
Why does Rasheed Wallace have to be a hater? You should root for your friends to win. It is part of casino etiquette 101. And damn Allen Iverson sure travels with a lot of pocket money…about $49,980 more than I go out with.
Don’t worry, the Pistons beat Minnesota. No harm, no foul.
