World Series of Poker

Featured Replies

it started today and apparently nearly 2500 people entered and someone big got knocked out already :o

does anyone else here care about this?

I don't exactly care, but sometimes if I'm around and nothing else is on, I really don't mind watching those things. They're actually not that bad, and then the money they're dealing with....Wow.

More of a sport than NASCAR

 

/flame on.

how bout which of those two involves more skill?

I enjoy watching the WS of Poker.

i'll watch it only when not much else is on... :ph34r:

How much does the winner get? ;)

It's good times. I can't wait to watch it on tv.

Hmmm maybe I will watch some blackjack and backgammon while I am at it. YAWN.

I love the WSOP. There is so much strategy involved. If you want some up to date info on what is going on in the tournament, go to www.cardplayer.com and click on the WSOP link. Then scroll down toward the bottom of the events list for each days results. On Day 1, 400 people were eliminated including last years winner Chris Moneymaker.

Only if you like to watch bad poker being played.

The celebrities are playing for charity and so it's not as serious as WSP and they have fun with it, same as if I were playing poker with my buddies and that's more fun to watch IMO.

Surprised when I read that Chris Moneymaker was eliminated already (he was the defending champ). We watch it occasionally (usually when it is on late and nothing else is). He plays poker with his buds and occasionally I will, but I respect my bad luck and therefore don't try to push it too often.

Oh s*** I watch poker as often as I can.

 

Poker, unlike most people think, is a skill game. I don't think I'd call it a sport, but it definately involves skill. Reading players, knowing how much to bet, knowing when to bet, knowing when to bluff, how much to bet when you bluff, knowing when to fold, knowing when to call, etc, all involves a lot of skill. There is luck involved as well, but if it were all luck, why is Phil Hellmuth constantly doing well, and Phil Ivey, Dan Harrington, Howard Lederer, Scotty Nguyen, Brunson Doyle, Amarillo Slim, etc. ?

 

 

Anyways, damn, Money and Farha are toast. So much for a repeat champ. Too bad Sammy's gone too...he's fun to watch play. He probably started playing too many hands and had to make a move, and got knocked out. Too bad.

Moneymaker was so lucky last year that it's not at all shocking that he lost.

He had a damn good bluff going last year.

Is Howard's sister still in (Annie)? If a chick were to win I hope it would be her.

 

I absolutely hate Hellmuth. He's so rude. :angry:
