THE POKE…hobby or sport?

Happy Sunday Angels. Its rainy and soggy here in the Ville. Hope everyone had a great Derby day. There is nothing like the Ville and it’s Derby Day. The town is absolutely nuts from mid-April to the first Saturday in May. Its all good.

So here I am on the soggy Sunday..flipping channels..and happen to come across another WORLD SERIES OF POKER (WSOP) show. What made me stay on the channel for a few more seconds..and I mean seconds..was the guy referring to poker as a sport. I thought..surely..he’s being comical. But then he said it again..and again. I was like..WTF?!?!?!?

Is POKER a sport or a hobby?

That’s a rhetorical question..nobody cares..really. Poker is a hobby..an overblown hobby. I have no interest in poker..or the countless WSOP shows that air every night..though it does make for a good night light as I fall in my dream world.

Poker IS NOT a sport. It’s a game of chance. Seriously..at the highest skill level..shouldn’t all the players basically have the concept down of how to play their cards??

To quote some famous words..

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.  There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

You have to think that eventually the skilled players know how to do this..and there would be thousands of them that max out the thought process for playing. With that said..POKER is a HOBBY..a game of chance. The true sport is the way the dealer shuffles and distributes. JEEZ US..why am I even writing about this???

But wait..I found more meaningless info from the world of WSOP..

I found some nerds who decided to rank the 10 hottest female poker players. Topping the listicle is Layla Kayleigh..some woman who felt compelled to watch a little poker..get implants..and have men drool at her while raising the pot in Vegas. Her skill..reportedly..is adjusting her top. The remainder of the top 10 is entirely fraudulent ..some actresses..Cindy Margolis..and Anna Benson.  Don't know or care who Anna is..but I know about Cindy.  Oh yeah..

Keep in mind..this blog is an opinion..like A-HOLES.  Its not my thing.  However..I do realize the popularity of this HOBBY.  It is what it is..and its simply not me.  For me..no POKER..or POKE HIM..or POKE THEM.  Well..maybe POKE HER.  Sorry..I digress.  This afternoon can’t bleed into the evening quickly enough..



Peace out my HALEYUNNS!
