Re: Poker..why Is It So Popular?
On Pay TV in Australia it's on every day. We have
World Series Of Poker
World Poker Tour
Celebrity Poker Showdown
Premier Poker League
Poker Millions
and Party Poker.
That's just this weeks schedule. Then there is Hip Hop Poker, Australian Celebrity Poker, Joker Poker and some Canadian Poker.
I only watch the big ones myself or I get a bit pokered out. In and around the City there is a Poker Tournament ever night of the week at various different Pubs. There are two different leagues, APA and APL. You don't win money, just points which you carry on for the year and then you play National titles if you have accumalated many points. I've played a few times at the pub up the road and didn't last long. If you drink so many beers, you get free chips and that's my downfall. I play most weekends at friends houses. It gives you something to do why your drinking.
The reason why it's so popular is anyone can play it and possibly go all the way. Plus it's all about reading body language and people and you do that everyday anyway. There is also elements of mathematics and odds and everyone likes a gamble also.
