I don't really take your ignorance into consideration regarding this subject. It's obvious you're not a poker player nor do you comprehend the strategy and psychological aspects of the game. To each his own. But then again, you're the same guy who claims the NBA of today is just as good as the NBA of 12-15 years ago.  ::)

So there you have it......

To each his own, I guess. Be don't be upset that you lack the intelligence to be efficient at games other than checkers and scrabble.

Your camel outside needs a drink. Go tend to him, will you?

its just like any other sport(well ok poker isnt a sport but bare with me). if you enjoy it or like playing it then youll probably like watching it on tv.
i love playing and am still trying to learn some of the finer details so i enjoy watching the pros play.

Not really. I was certainly amused by it. My other alternative was to call you a sand Ni**er but then I remembered that I wasn't a racist and thought better of it.

If you play poker a lot it's fun to watch. 

-  Watching good players fold a good hand becuase they know they are beat.

-  Watching the on going head games played by players

-  Seeing normal people win big

-  Seeing a successful bluff.

just to name a few things....

Not offended after considering what demographic you probably belong to.  :-\

You made a grammer error when typing a comeback, so you had a racist meltdown. Looks like you have an inferiority complex. Do model minorities scare you?  ;D

Not at all. But then again, you're no model minority yourself, now are you?


What do I know when there's hacks like you and who's never tossed a baseball on any level of competition? The same guy that says Derek Jeter's overrated because he's never hit 30 home runs in a season while altogether losing sight of the fact that Jeter's strengths lie in getting on base and hitting for average(he's been a lead off man most of his career), not hitting home runs. If any such statement like this one made by you epitomizes a johnny-come-lately, newly sports acquired, leave my nerdship in the past, douchebag like yourself, then I don't know what is.

Just stick to putting together your fucking spreadsheets and your fucking fantasy leagues in your fucking geek infested world, you fucking nerd. You tool. You knuckle-shuffling, pillow biting, ass pirate.

Now go away. I'm done with you.

I don't care what any of you fagets say, I have allot of friends who are way to into poker, you can say all you want about the strategy or physiological crap but I still say poker is the most boring game to ever become as popular as it is. I would rather play pogs or watch a errrrrrrr Nascar race :-\ Poker is fun at times when you actually play (not those fucking couple hour tournaments) but watching it has to be the most boring thing to come along since watching the stock ticker at the bottom of the t.v. screen on MSNBC.

Most poker shows on TV are crap these day.  World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour are good, but nothing beats the original Late Night Poker  8)
