Poker Player’s Chance
Unlike football, where an amateur player could never join the big leagues and expect to play beside football greats such as Jim Brown or Sam Huff, a reason so many people enjoy poker is because it’s a sport where, no matter how much of an amateur you are, you can sit next to the pros and play the game.
