Message: [QUOTE="ZenGlen007, post: 3216907, member: 208277"] I played chess and other strategy games for years. I didn't think of poker as a deeply strategic game, and kind of frowned upon gambling. A friend who is a poker enthusiast turned me onto an open courseware class by MIT on Poker Theory and Analytics. That peaked my interest, and now I'm hooked. I'm constantly amazed at how many new and interesting things there are to learn. Right now, the only thing I don't like about Poker is how it's a zero-sum game. Meaning, in order to make money, you have to take it from someone else by exploiting their mistakes. Because of that, the tournament format appeals to me the most. I'm not interested in becoming a "shark" and going out to look for cash games with easy "fish" to prey on. (As sexy as it sounds. ha) [/QUOTE]
