Meet Captain Agave

Greg Stanley
Greg Stanley

Meet Greg Stanley of Minden, Louisiana, better known in the Bossier City poker room as Captain Agave. Chad Disante didn't provide the backstory, so we asked Stanley to elaborate.

"You know the old saying, 'You can't beat a lucky drunk'?" Stanley explains, "Well, I've won a few tournaments by just calling everything and catching everything.

"But how I got the nickname was, one time I was playing cash with this guy called Joker. I was drinking tequila and winning and he goes, 'A guy as lucky as you ought to be buying rounds for the table.' So I said, 'I'm ready, how about you?' And the two of us went about thirteen rounds.

"By the end of it, Chad was like, 'If you can't walk out of here, I can't help you.'"

Stanley whiffed in Flight A but is back for another...shot...at a bag.
