So we need someone who can call a huge bluff with King high and take down the pot AND stop terrorism? Your right, THIS is why the boom is dying.

if poker was proved to be a game of skill, wouldn't that make fish go away?

Re: There are no Heroes in Poker: Another Reason the Boom is Over
 

There aren't really 'heroes' in other sports either anymore. Who's a hero in basketball/baseball/hockey...no one.

Besides poker is a game for adults who aren't looking for heroes.

Babe Ruth drank beer, ate hot dogs, slept with groupies and had a knack for hitting home runs... what's so heroic about that???

Brunson dodged the hazards of being a road gambler for many years... got robbed & arrested chasing his passion & is every bit as pioneering in his trade (probably more so) than Babe Ruth... so who is more heroic???

Also,(with props to Ontario Troy) Greenstein has given millions in tournament winnings to children's charities...

This is a stupid premise for a thread!
