Re: ex-tennis star kafelnikov to become professional poker player

No, I'm sure he is skilled, and even if he's not, I'm sure he will be very, very good in a short period of time since he is a pro athlete/ mental warrior. but, lots of superstars often think they are world beaters too soon at whatever they choose to pursue. The recently deceased Sang Lee, 12 time U.S. three cushion billiard champ, played billiards like GOD, but lost a lot at poker playing big. I think when one is so revered for one thing he does, he must believe he can do lots of things just as well if he wanted to. . . .

"The West Wing" is a show full of pretty good actors and they seem so smart. When they played Celebrity poker though, smart isn't exactly the word I would use to describe the way they played.
For some reason, I actually thought they would be semi decent players. I was wrong.
