Message: [QUOTE="thepokerdoctor, post: 847785, member: 41390"] [COLOR=black]I honestly didn't think I'd get this many responses. I find them quite interesting. I guess I was thinking I’d get a universal answer. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]The mental challenge is probably the 2nd most important reason why I play. Like a member posted above, if you don't use it, you lose it. In my opinion, even though I'm relatively new to the game, there are very few sports that are as mentally challenging as poker. Chess and golf come to mind, however they pale in comparison to poker. Not only is it an analytical game, it also requires a unique intuition that I believe is unparalleled in any sport along with a little bit of gamesmanship/showmanship and luck. Being able to read another player is probably the toughest skill I’ve come across in a long time.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
