When did playing poker become this big sport? When ESPN dedicates 4 hours of continuous programming to it, thats when. There are so many shows on TV now that revolve around poker my TiVo is having trouble keeping track of all of them. World Poker Tour, World Series of Poker, Celebrity Poker Showdown, Celebrity Home Game, Playboy’s Strip Poker, Spice TV’s Poker Fuck, etc.. the list just seems to grow every month. I’ve played poker its seems like forever, and the only thing I can see that makes this game so attractive is the ghatsly amounts of money you can win by just lying to people. On national TV no less. And as they say, anyone has a shot to win, because the cards make it anyone’s game. I’m really hoping that the olympic commitee gets their collective heads out of their collective asses and make this an olympic event. Its more exciting than curling for sure, and can you imagine, they would have to build a poker room (with a bar of course) as part of the olympic village! Would it be played in the winter games or summer games? Hmmm.. let me get back to you on that one.
