How many people have been sitting on the couch flipping channels when all of the sudden you see people playing poker?
Texas Hold'Em has become the biggest thing to hit North America (or at least Toronto, Canada) since Pokemon. I've seen them all, from the World Series of Poker to watching Matthew Perry (Friends) losing all his chips in Celebrety Poker. From what I can recall this has been going on for about the last 6 months but has increased since September because of the lack of hockey. People are getting bored. They are turning to cards to fill the void and are losing lots of money because of it. People can lose hundreds of dollars in one hand (I just read about a guy who lost his leg playing poker). This is incredible and it has to stop.
Personall, I don't mind, I'm winning.

This is a phenomenon because...why?
This is a problem because...why?
This lacked coherence and valid explanations, and was totally irrelevant.
This sucked.

Texas Holdem is a f'ing awesome game. All other poker games are shit in comparison. It does take skill to win, which is why some players make a good living out of it. Not card reading, but people reading.
It's been on the tele for years.
This post sucks arse.

"Counting cards" in poker?
That's interesting, professor.
What's interesting about it is that I can't imagine how you get through the day without your mommy there to help because almost every time you type something, you manage to outdumb your last effort.
Shut the fuck up, mommy's boy.

I play Texas Hold a lot except I bet buckets of Mac And Cheese. Then if I lose I can throw all the mac and cheese on the winner and make a really big mess. Then I hit him in the face with the bucket.

Poker is the stupidest shit I have ever heard of. Some people are calling it a sport now. It is so overrated, fucking 'champion' poker players thinking they have some skill. Unless you can count cards, there is no skill involved.
