you have to be smart to be good at poker
you have to be able to handle pressure

be able to be very patient it’s a game
of skill chance and peer guts hi I’m
Craig Conley with watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be learning more about the
game of poker what do you ascribe to
pokers mainstream popularity one factor
is the television the date came on
television a lot of people learn how to
play saw that it was interesting they
were able to see the cars of the players
other factor is the internet internet
gaming sites make huge amounts of money
with poker so they helped a lot bring
new people to the game the fact that an
ammeter won the World Championship 2003
Chris Moneymaker that helped a lot the
27 year old has stepped out of the
virtual poker room do you think film is
helped popularize the sport not the last
James Bond by the one before then the
old movie is built around the poker game
should we up the blind it’s not the only
example there was rounders in 98 it’s
the classic and Melissa favorite movie
for poker players it’s your money the
kids bettin well that’s plenty wise we
know what we’re holding and we know what
you’re holding what type of qualities is
a good poker player needs so there’s not
just one quality you have to be a little
bit of a psychologist you have to be a
comedian sometimes you want people to
pretend that you had a good hand when
you don’t blubber named Larry Levan even
nobody huh thinking rumor is that
President Obama is a poker player how is
useless uated with the game back when he
played he was known as a patient player
obviously I don’t think he has time
anymore for poker but he played with
people from his State Illinois and it
helped him to make some contacts that
helped me later on his politics I enjoy
a little friendly game of poker myself
once in a while but the one thing I know
is this we can’t afford to gamble on
four more years the same disastrous
economic policy do you think the
strategy of the game is helpful to a
president oh for sure it is you have to
earn respect when you play poker you
have to have a strong image and you need
you need to use strategy now you were a
chess player before why the shift from
chest to poker the game is different
than chess you need to learn moves
openings up to twentieth move in poker
you can sit down with no preparation at
all
and gave a great performance it’s like
more game of psychology of personality
chess is a lot of a calculation and
knowledge who’s the Bobby Fischer of
poker right now in poker there’s not one
person who can dominate the poker world
in chess Bobby Fischer for a few years
was able to dominate in poker right now
we got an Internet a guy named ER or
phil ivey was known as the tiger woods
of poker and this is where we’re gonna
see how good is phil ivey he’s staring
at duan stack trying to figure out where
he’s at can ever do when he loses five
hundred thousand dollars so you cannot
dominate poker because there’s variance
due to a chance there’s gens de la vie
saying goodbye to all that money those
are twenty-five-thousand-dollar chips
there’s great players and then there’s
good players what’s the difference some
amateurs can play like professionals but
they might not have the same motivation
to play the best move all the time so
they might make mistake the real
professional does not make a huge
mistake it sometimes your profit is
Booker comes from big mistakes that’s
too bad that’s the way it is this son of
bitch alrighty chick chick chick he
trapped me will you feeling satisfied

night
