BengalsCat Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 [quote name='BadassBengal' date='May 10 2005, 12:15 AM']Meh. I still dont think it is. Any fat fuck can sit down and play it. I find it as rediculous as calling Bowling a sport. More like a game, in my opinion, but not a sport... [right][post="90437"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote] No I consider it a sport. because It takes a whole hell of a lot of skill to play this game> some fucker could come and sit down and play and maybe win a few hands for luck. But if he keeps playing he will lose money over time because he is a soft player... Personaly i think poker is a sport because everyone can play.. but only a select few are sucessful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracenuts Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 any fat fuck can play football too (i.e. o-linemen) but its still a sport. Poker you have to be good at to be sucessful, i agree with the "any body can play, but only a select few can be good". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I determine what a sport is by whether it takes any athletic ability or not. Like videogames, poker, in my opinion, is nothing more than a game. No, not any fat fuck can play football, because you have to be athletic. Unless you consider sitting on your ass and moving chips around to be a physical strain, poker just doesn't cut it for me.

Storm Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I re-upped on Pokerstars with some real jack yesterday and was brutally punished! Lost the 3 games I played on bad beats! The last one I had 3 Aces and went all in and a guy calls me needing a gut shot K on the river and got it! I'm stopping short on saying it was rigged but it had me wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalsCat Posted May 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 lmao doesnt it i watched the poker stars tournmanet last night.. guy went in 5-6 against A-J.. A-J should win about 70% of the time.. but he hit a straight and sucked out the one with solid cards. cards is a game about stats so it cant always be right the only hand that cant be beat is a straight flush so no matter what u have u could still possibly be sucked out by the .5% chance he hits the exact card he needs u know but it makes the game fun and exciting u know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BengalsOwn Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 [quote name='BengalsOwn' date='Apr 27 2005, 09:35 PM']He has 2 computers setup, and has two different accounts, with 4 games going at the same time on each computer. He also had a huge bankroll before he started playing [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//24.gif[/img] I forget what limits he plays, but he definitely plays lower limits. He has a stat tracker and if I remember correctly according to that he folds 98% of the time or something like that. It's all about being patient. But they send you free stuff if you play enough. So far he has gotten a real nice watch, and just a few weeks ago he got 2 27" flat screen toshiba TV's, just for playing. He's also been approached about writing a book. I think he plays on party poker or pokerstars. [right][post="85403"][/post][/right][/quote] Just an update, the guy I'm talking about recently was rewarded an all expenses paid trip to the World series of poker, which included a flight for him and his wife, a hotel for 10 days, and the $10,000 buy in to play.

Guest BengalsOwn Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 He leaves on July 5, and he told my friend that if he gets down to the final 4 tables, he would go ahead and fly a bunch of us out there so we can root him on. If you hear a bunch of people yelling "O'doyle rules!" on ESPN in a few months, it's me and my friends, rooting for Doyle Pearson. We been saying that to him since middle school, when the movie first came out [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//24.gif[/img] Of course he has to last a long time before we get flown out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played in a real game last night, not a tourney but a no limit cash game and did pretty well, started with a $20 and cashed out $146 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
