I have been on TV quite a few times as a poker player.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm the first person in my family to play poker.
Poker would have never gotten on TV when we only had three networks.
I've been playing Texas Hold 'em and other forms of poker since I was about 12.
Poker is meant to be enjoyed.
Not having the online game has made it more difficult. There are a lot of young and upcoming players in poker. But you don't get to see them because TV has sort of been taken away.
But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous, it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.
I love poker!
I like to play poker. I have a nice poker group that's been going on for years.
I used to sports gamble a lot and I was getting killed on that but then I found poker and really enjoyed it. But it was a hobby more than anything else. I played it every day but only on pretty small stakes.
As for poker, I've stayed away from that, even though when I was in Vegas for Ocean's Eleven, I would get accosted by these guys begging me to play. They just want to take my money. They see me, think 'actor' and see some easy money.
