Epic Adventures: East Gets Its Due
The East Coast grinder is a species of poker player whose style of play and demeanor at the tables is difficult to replicate. Indigenous to the Atlantic coast of the United States, East Coast grinders cut their teeth in New York City home games, Atlantic City, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, and any place they can find a good spot.
