Geeks Playing Poker?

Posted by timothy on from the and-blackjack dept.

Ben Collins writes "I recently won a satellite tournament at Full Tilt Poker for entry into the World Poker Tour Final at Foxwoods Casino. I picked up poker as a hobby about 4 months ago, and consider myself a decent player, maybe due to programming experience (analytical thinking). Any other programmers/computer people find that they can play poker better than the average person because of their computer experience?"

    I agree with you, but I think it's good that rich suburban 15 year olds get into the game. The more suckers start playing poker, the better.
