Default Re: Poker is Good for You

article is pretty crappy


takes it from the development of the individual perspective, but overlooks a few key things

-At what costs?
-What about the path not taken?

There are other methods to learn all of these lessons that don't have the negative personal and societal costs. The alternative to playing poker is not nothing. There is a chunk of time that very well could involve activities that improve a person in all those ways and then some.


For a fun exercise....swith reality television with poker in the article and its main points. I know I could contsruct the exact same argument for reality tv.
