Who introduced you to the game?
Robert Streighteff: He lived in my apartment and was throwing bags outside one day and I asked if I could join him and he said yes. After we started playing for a while he told me about a blind draw they had at a bar in Chesapeake called Skelton Key, after that I was addicted to the game.
