World Series Of Poker - ESPN

I've been glued to this for the past two days. Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, Scotty Nguyen, Chris "Jesus" Fergusen, and the John McEnroe of Poker: Phil Helmuth, Jr.

$10,000 entry fee, anyone can enter, anyone can win.

...well, not everyone can enter...

My girlfriend watches this stuff almost religiously. I can't get into it, nor do I see how this is a sport. But it may also be that I don't understand any card games other than BlackJack.

The Jays · 08-01-2003, 02:25 AM

... no, poker is not a sport.

QuickStop · 08-01-2003, 02:35 AM

ive been watching this for the past few weeks... i think theres only 2 days left that they havent shown yet.

Keyser Soze · 08-01-2003, 03:10 AM

its not a sport, but its fun watching the players strategy, bluff, talk shit, flip out, etc...

World series of poker is great stuff.

The guy who won this year entered the tournament through a $40 satellite tournament online, and ended up winning 2.5 million bucks. Not a bad 5 day investment.

plus the guy who won last year was an amateur...at the time
but he was knocked out early this year
it is some fun shit to watch

they constantly replay all the wsop tourneys on the travel channel. Mostly the same guys make it to the finals every year, so it can't be all luck.

criticslovesnatch · 08-01-2003, 07:48 PM

no...the travel chanel has the "world poker tour" which has nothing to do with the world series...its just other big-buy in tournaments. Thats fun to watch too though.

The Sleeper · 08-01-2003, 09:03 PM

it baffles my mind that someone has watched the travel channel

QuickStop · 08-01-2003, 09:05 PM

im watching it right now....i don't really know what it is, but its on my tv

The Sleeper · 08-01-2003, 09:08 PM

you are the most underrated poster on this board

QuickStop · 08-01-2003, 09:09 PM

i just hang around

criticslovesnatch · 08-01-2003, 10:36 PM

QuickStop · 08-01-2003, 10:38 PM

QuickStop · 08-02-2003, 12:19 AM

criticslovesnatch · 08-02-2003, 05:49 AM
