Poker is done


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

Well, I wouldn't say it's done since it's been around since 1750...but I think I see what you mean; the whole poker on tv thing and the fascination with it has probably passed. Though I still wouldn't say no to a good game.

agree 100%. Hold'em is now engrained in American culture. But the fanaticism is over.

I hold a game once a month, and go to a friends once a month to play. I want to play more, just cant. But I do believe the craze is over. When Chris Moneymaker won a $40 online tourney that ended up getting him a seat at the WSOP in 2003, he became an inspiration to anybody who thought they could play, like me. Dude turned that $40 in to 2.5 million. Now, the field was only 700 that year, but still...If you play it is still plenty big.

So why do you say its dead, HP? You tryin to play?

I just realized I don't care that much who wins what anymore and i am not dying to play. i was huge into it and made some money at one point. 5k in a month anyway at pretty low levels. I read all the books...I think anyone who is technical and patient can do that. But I just don't have the patience to play long term.

Love the occasional home game, but even that is tough. One guy doesn't have money, one guy can't remember the rules etc...

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
