Message: [QUOTE="takinitSLEAZEE, post: 5332782, member: 79787"] There's a lot of insightful opinions listed in this thread. I would just like to add that poker is not the only card-game in which winning $ is the driving factor to win. It's certainly the most entertaining. I remember a while back when they actually televised blackjack trny's. In a word: [B]BORING[/B]. Needless to say they did not last. I might also add that in this day and age people want compensation for their time. I can't remember if I had stated it before but there was a commercial about 25 yrs ago for an investment firm (not sure which one) that featured a guy in a suit w/a briefcase walking around Wall Street pitching lines for his company. The one that stood out the most, to me, was his ending statement, "In my line of work time is money. Thanks for your time." Shuffle up and deal, brothers and sisters. :icon_pira [/QUOTE]
