I scrapped the old CaryDarling.Com design and site a few months back, and I was just going through and uploading some of the photos I had posted years ago.
I took these at the 2004 World Poker Tour Five Diamond Classic at Bellagio. In the pictures you’ll see some poker fan favorites such as Daniel [...]

Day 2
We spent day 2 on the ocean as we headed down to our first port of call, Cabo San Lucas.
We held our first tournament that Sunday morning, and World Series Circuit winner, Doug Lee came in first.
Not much else to report for the day. We worked, we ate, and we played.
Day 3
We awakened [...]

Thanks to my good friends Linda Johnson and Jan Fisher, part owners of Card Player Cruises I was invited to be a part of the poker room staff on their 2007 Mexican Riviera Cruise.
This was my very first cruise ever, and to say I was excited about it would be an understatement. I’m pretty [...]

Okay I’m a cheap rail birding bum, I don’t even have a buy in for a $2/$4 limit game so what’s the next best thing to do?
SWAG HUNT!!!!
So, I made my way down to the Rio today on two missions.
Mission #1 To photograph a friend Billie Walter in the stud event.  I failed this mission [...]

I started my site carydarling.com almost two years ago with the intention of filling it up with my attempts at humorous insight into the life of a low limit poker player living in Las Vegas. I titled it A High Limit Life At A Low Limit Table. This [...]

When I walk into a poker room no one stops and stares, no one whispers “look it’s so and so.” Which I guess is a good thing because we all know it’s better to live a quiet deliberate poker life at the $1/$3 spread limit tables at Excalibur than to be buggered by autograph seekers [...]
