Re: Charles Barkley wins $700,000 in a weekend
[ QUOTE ]
I'm surprised there aren't more degenerate ex-pro-athletes trying to be in on the poker scene. Someone should get Barkley to lose his money to us (meaning u guys not me) instead of blackjack. [/ QUOTE ] I often play NL against a retired (from about a ten year career) NBA former starter that is about the least degenerate player I've ever played. During the first few plays I wondered if he was ever going to play a hand. Come to think of it all three NBA types I've played often have been pretty snug. ~ Rick

OK, who is it... [/ QUOTE ] Fair question but I guess when I posted the above I had a brain fart and forgot I was on a forum where respecting privacy isn't the norm (that said I occasionally need a sick gossip fix). Now that my brain fart has passed I'll decline to answer since the guy is very unassuming and may not want the word spread that he's essentially a nut-peddler when playing. ~ Rick

Re: Charles Barkley wins $700,000 in a weekend
I heard that when Borg had a big boxing match recently, Barkley and Michael Jordan were betting somewhere in the neighborhood of 25k-30k per hand at blackjack. Hey, I mean, if you got it you got it. I think a lot of athletes steer clear of poker (particularly televised tournaments) because they don't want national attention drawn to the fact that they're big gamblers (Barkley excluded).

Re: Charles Barkley wins $700,000 in a weekend
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww... You said he was a good player. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't want his name on here. He is a public figure, and I am assuming you have played with him in a public casino or card room...
