Default the end of this forum

there have been a few quotes on here saying things like "poker is boring, but i will still tune in." How can you say a thing like this and still post here?! I know that this activity entails a lot of sitting and waiting, but i don't (and i would assume most people do not) pursue activities that are dull or bore them. If this is really how you guys feel that is fine but if it is not you could refrain from these statements that bring all of us down.

You are starting to sound an awful lot like our beloved president, GWB.

You should have posted your rant *in* one of the aformentioned threads.

I don't think poker on TV is boring at all. In fact I think its highly compelling and entertaining. Unfortunately, I don't have the Travel Channel which really pisses me off, so I might get the WPT season on DVD. I don't think anyone in here is truly bored watching poker. How can it be boring to watch yet not boring to read and post about for hours a day? I don't get it.

Poker on TV is great, why would anyone who posts on a poker forum ever think it was boring? Not only is it creating a new revenue stream of fishy money, but you get to see the best players in the world operate at a card table.

I believe I read a reference to how limit is boring to watch. Well, I guess it all depends on how into poker you are, and how much you know or care about poker variants to NLHE.

The fact that ESPN is airing the final table of the triple draw lowball WSOP event has me freaking out in excitement.

Not sure if this is in reply to a post I made a few days ago about how I didn't find limit poker on tv to be that good to watch....but I totally wasn't trying to imply that I'm 'bored with poker' or anything like that.

I think poker can be boring, but I'm not bored with poker. You see, there's a difference.

Poker doesn't bore people; people bore people.
