Encouraging the youth of today
June 13th, 2005 by brother9Poker has become so popular that there are actually tournaments offering college scholarships to those who play. There is actually a College Poker Championship.
I really don’t think people under 21 need any more encouragement to play than the heavily edited displays of people winning millions of dollars in highstakes poker on TV.
What I find more discouraging is that I somehow managed to miss the Belmont Stakes. And while many thought this would be a head-to-head matchup between Afleet Alex and Giacomo, I knew better. Even though I didn’t have the sense to find a freaking OTB. Twice I’ve missed Afleet Alex, and now I’ll be paying for it until next year’s triple crown rolls around. Ah well, such is the life of a horseracing afficionado. You do much better if you actually bet.
