the Magic card game

i was reading david williams wikipedia page and noticed he used to be a magic pro, and i remembered seeing some posts about an ugly jewish kid who does good in poker who also started off with magic. anybody know what it is about this game that relates to poker? from what ive read its a complex strategy game even though the pictures/ story of it are kinda gay. i play the bodog $5 super turbo sngs for fun, i have a good job but id like to get better at poker. i like strategy games and figure if this game can give me a better understanding of poker, it might be worth the shot. just wanted to know if any ooters had any experience with this or have some suggestions, etc..

Once I saw Chan smell an orange. And he won the Main event twice. I need to smell more oranges imo

Current ME champ did a lot of praying to God at the final table.

Note to self; find religion with the most Gods and during next tourney start praying wildly in every direction

I used to play, and I still have love for the game.

That said, I don't think it'd help your poker and I'd advise against it for that and many other reasons.

No, false reasoning... The Magic card game has been played successfully by many poker pros and touted as a strategy game with many similar lines of thinking. There is a very real chance that it may in fact relate to and/or improve his poker game based on the evidence and testimony of others. This is decidedly not the case for the orange and for praying. I hope you see the error of your posts.

sigh don't start. it's more like, people who had already been competitive for years got into poker and had a head start because of the logical thinking involved. also they had people to sweat/discuss with because they were already friends IRL.

starting to play isn't gonna do anything for you wrt poker.

I still run events for Wizards of the Coast.

The game involves a lot of math and a lot of game theory. I don't know if it's going to help you poker game, but it will help your brainpower as a whole.
