Lol i don't believe in playing during class because if you want to play poker then just don't go to class much better environment at your place and if you want to go to class then take that time off from poker.

I'm one of the boring professors in these rooms, and I think it's great when someone is playing poker in class. Many people need some secondary stimulus to fight boredom, and poker requires just enough focus and time to keep the mind from wandering far off topic. For those who are mostly auditory learners (those who don't take notes, yet retain most of the material), poker is likely ideal for a second stimulus.

I also tend to get good results from poker players, as I make the classes aware I play, so the players feel some kinship to me (I think).

2-tabling might interfere with paying enough attention to the lecture, though... unless it's REALLY boring.

For some reason, I think your opinion on this matter is in the minority.


he just agreed with my claim that it helps me pay more attention.

I'd hope you contributed a lot to the discussion, considering you're the professor.

Well, his was the second reply to my post.. *I* am the boring professor. If you're going to quote a post, pay attention to what is the poster's reply, and what is someone else's writing.

Alright, I gotcha. I'm used to quotes being in the quote block.

But man, you guys are strung out. It wasn't like I was even making fun of the guy, it was just good natured teasing. Sheesh. Relax a little, 'tis only a message board.
