Default Re: Bluffing in the WSOP

Right, and the PGA should adopt this stance too. I'd pay $10,000 in a heartbeat to play a round in the US Open with Tiger Woods. I realize my handicap is about 18, but if Tiger's so good, he can play against anyone, including me, right? (tongue firmly in cheek)

Maybe some of the pros would like everyone to believe that this is an accurate analogy - the truth is, it's not even remotely close. Poker is an art, but it's not rocket science, and it's obviously not a physical sport. The difference between Tiger Woods and a good Joe Amateur is like the Grand Canyon; the difference between Daniel Negreanu and a good Joe Amateur is like a ditch in your yard by comparison. And someone is filling up the ditch with dirt as we speak.
