The Poker Cynic

Poker's become TV's new wrestling - a series of meaningless, dull contests that only the sponsors really enjoy, and the winners, of course. The audience, well, I guess we will watch whatever the broadcasters deign to screen. The sixhanded one-table satellite, in which the players all face...

The Poker Cynic

The Poker Cynic

Shot at the Title I knew it was a great opportunity, but I also knew it was a 5-1 shot. The only downside of my qualifying for the Ladbrokes Poker Million was that I had to play the heat on TV. Normally, if I am eliminated from a competition, I am allowed to slink away on my own to lick my wounds...
