  Nice one! Just one small nitpick, 2D's definition is singular while the answer is plural. I do love poker as a definition for cactus though!

    Thanks nate! My intention was that “Poker’s” would actually be parsed as “pokers” for the definition. I know punctuation can be superfluous for wordplay, but maybe that’s too misleading for the definition.

  1D: Levi's = "Gene's"
  2D: pokers (rude punctuation, I know) = CACTI (first of 2nd-6th words)
  3D: swindler = (RASH)* + K
  4D: famous = DETON[ation]<
  1A: yours truly = JACK (as in "Union Jack") + SON
  5A: curve = [f]A[b]R[i]C[s]
  6A: play division = A[t] + C[our]T
  7A: ignored responsibilities = (HER DISK)*
