Default Re: Working out before playing poker

Yeah droopy, I'm the same way. I played baseball in college a couple of years ago and used to be in a little better shape. So I also think there's an element of feeling kind of restless just sitting in a pokerroom or in front of a computer screen. I think Greenstein was talking about this in his book about how sometimes former athletes don't make the best poker players because the lifestyle is more of a grind on them. I think staying in shape is probably more important for those kind of people. On the other hand you have kids that grew up crushing Magic the Gathering (lots of new pros) or video games (Ivey and others)who weren't real active to begin with and now they have less problems logging enormous hours on end.
