Alex Rivera's Double Feature
Alex Rivera's Double Feature

Whether it's on his phone or his tablet, top local rounder Alex Rivera is often found watching a movie while he plays.

It doesn't matter if it's a $1,000 WNYPC Main Event or the $160 First Wednesday of the Month, Rivera fills the downtime between hands catching a flick. Should he go deep, it's double feature time.

Some might find it distracting, but not Rivera. There's a method to his madness. The secret is in the selection of the films. It's B-grade action movies for the most part, as he very carefully chooses movies he won't get too caught up in.

It's essentially bad movies or bust.

Today's double feature has included Bad Boys II and some sort of Steven Seagal picture, neither of which could ever be described as even remotely distracting.
