Default Re: Why don\'t physically fit people play poker?

From what I've seen, the percentage of obese poker players seems to be about the same as that of the general population.

On a related note, I don't like to make fun of people, so what I'm about to say isn't meant to be cruel.

Last week, I was at the Mirage poker room, and I saw a guy who had to weigh at least 500 lbs. I'm not exaggerating. It could be closer to 600 lbs. I wondered how he was going to be able to fit at a 10-handed holdem table. The only way that I could see it happening would be to consolidate the 5 and 6 seats (letting this guy sit in front of the dealer's box) and turn it into a 9-handed game.
