Default Re: Pro Poker Player on \"Are You Smarter then a 5th Grader?\"

Yeah that was an interesting episode to watch. He played the game well and I thought he did a good job bringing some respectability to his profession of poker player to the mass public. He did overdo it a bit with the poker references though. That was the first time that I saw someone with that profession on a mainstream game show.

It seemed like he would make a good player because he approached the gambling situations logically on the show and he didn't take the stupid risk of double or nothing on the last unknown question.

I think that show is fair up until the million dollar question because you're allowed to look at the question before deciding whether to answer. Then for the last question you have to risk almost all your money based only on the vague question subject. I feel like only a sick gambler or really rich person would take this risk.
