Why Isn’t Poker Considered A Sport
August 6, 2008
I was reading this article a while back and have been meaning to write on this topic. So after arriving in Scottsdale, Arizona and venturing out to the infamous Casino Arizona to play there 3-5 $150 game. I over heard a bunch of young poker enthusiasts talking about "Why Isn't Poker Considered A Sport". This instantly shot ideas in my head and reminded me, that I had to write on this topic.
Why Isn't Poker Considered A Sport; true there are many similarities in both, but lets be honest here I think poker should only be considered a game of skill.
Here are 10 reasons why poker should not be considered a sport!
- No poker player has ever been sidelined from an injury or failing any sort of drug test. (This does not include Eskimo Clarks double heart attacks in the 2006 World Series Of Poker)
- Excessive celebration in sports results in an unsportsmanlike penalty, rather in poker you are given TV time.
- In sports most announcers were great players, rather in poker they are not.
- In sports using the F-word is perfectly fine and trash talking is a part of the game. In poker you will be penalized for any of this.
- Not one poker player has successfully executed the infamous "Lambeau Leap"
- In sports you are cheered on by thousands of fans. In poker you are cheered on by investors/backers, people whom you owe money and people who want to borrow money from you.
- In sports if you play poorly you are benched, sent to the minors, waived or traded. In poker if you play poorly they tell you, you can come back as often as you like. Especially in cash games.
- There is no crying in sports, but in poker everyone seems to cry when they lose a hand.
- In sports you endure physical stress on the body. In poker the only physical stress you endure is out sitting your opponents at the table.
- In Sporting events the favorites usually win. In poker the favorites rarely do.
This is why poker will never be considered a sport and only a game of skill!
Anyone want to take my prop bet?
July 18, 2008
While at the World Series Of Poker in Vegas this year, playing in event #49. Fellow Canadian poker player "Gaving Smith" was making prop bets with one of the guys at my table. One of the props they bet was; who would last the longest in the tournament getting 1-1 on their money for $1000?. Well the guy at my table got knocked out first and he paid Gavin on the spot $1000 cash.
Online players Tom "Durr" Dwan bet Jeff Madsen bet on day 6 of the main event that he would not be able to knock down all the oversized beer bottles in one shot; call it "The human bowling ball!"
During at World Poker Tour Event this year Phil "The Unibomber" Laak bet Gavin Smith that he wouldn't be able to stuff 15 marshmellows in his mouth at one time and then seal his lips. Gavin was up for the challenge and stuffed those marshmellows in his mouth like a seasoned pro. Jennifer Tilly, Mark Newhouse, and Eric Seidel all had side bets on it.
Some of the sickest prop bets go on during the WSOP and the WPT events, last year Eli Elezra made over $1,000,000 in prop bets alone. These players just don't bet $1000, im talking $50,000 props getting placed on a daily basis.�
WSOP Main Event Final Table Ready For November!
July 17, 2008
Finally, the WSOP main event final table is ready for november 9th! The nine remaining players have to wait a remarkable 117 days to play the final table. This is a bonus for those players because they will all get big endorsement deals with many of the top poker sites. Also, this will benefit the WSOP because they will be able to hype the table up in hopes of attracting more viewers. The only thing that worries me is that the players will be able to study their opponents because of the long layoff, which i believe will ruin the excitement of the final table. All in all, the pros overweigh the cons which will benefit the WSOP in the long run.
Here are the nine remaining players and their respective chip counts and seating positions.
- Seat 1: Dennis Phillips - 26,295,000
- Seat 2: Craig Marquis - 10,210,000
- Seat 3: Ylon Schwartz - 12,525,000
- Seat 4: Scott Montgomery - 19,690,000
- Seat 5: Darus Suharto - 12,520,000
- Seat 6: Chino Rheem - 10,230,000
- Seat 7: Ivan Demidov - 24,400,000
- Seat 8: Kelly Kim - 2,620,000
- Seat 9: Peter Eastgate - 18,375,000

Full Tilt Poker adds 4 new high stakes tables
June 24, 2008
With the recent signing of Patrik Antonius to the Full Tilt Poker team. Full Tilt has recently unveiled 4 new high stakes tables, with Patrik having reserved seats at all four of them.
A total of 4 tables have been added:
-
"RailHeaven",$500/$1000 Six Handed No Limit Hold'em table, a $50,000 minimum is the buy-in.
-
"Patrik", $2000/$4000 Omaha Hi-Lo Six Handed table, a $50,000 minimum is the buy-in.
-
"Patrik Antonius",$2000/$4000 Six-Handed H.O.R.S.E. table again with a minimum of $50,000 needed to buy-in.
-
"Antonius", $200/$400 6 Max Deep stacked Pot Limit Omaha table with a minimum buy-in of $40,000.
We assume this will greatly decrease the amount of high stakes cash games being held in Bobby's Room at the Bellagio. With an abundance of High stakes poker pro's being signed with Full Tilt Poker you can be sure, the game would rather be played in the comfort of their own home rather then in a casino.
Even though playing at the Bellagio is like playing at home, nothing beats your own couch and computer. Playing mutliple tables is also an advantage for most high stakes pro's online; increasing their hands per hour, paying no rake and saving on the tips, playing online outweighs, playing at the casino heavily.
If a $3000/$6000 mixed game is added online you can be sure the action in Bobby's Room will be gone forever.
