show yourself
I don’t understand poker, not in the least. In fact I fail to see the appeal apart from getting free money. So this is coming from a position of willful and total ignorance. However that never stopped me before, so here goes.
Isn’t it lame that all the high profile poker players hide behind hats, and huge shades etc? Since much of the game is out of your control, IE the cards you are dealt. Wouldn’t the gamesmanship of it be in the reading of the other player’s faces, disguising your own intent etc. This is the origin of the term ‘poker face’ so why then must we watch these jokers wearing Halloween masks?
Doesn’t this remove a huge portion of the intrigue from these matches?
I didn’t get poker before, and I sure don’t get it now.

I want to know why poker is always on the travel channel.
I think poker is already out, like carrying a little dog in a purse.
We used to have hearts marathons in the back room at the Soundwarehouse Brian managed. We'd leave one poor soul out front!
maybe even a soft core program called....wait for it....Poke-Her.
at time even i wonder at the unfathomnableness (is that even a word? doubt it) of me.
