Didn't you hear the part at the end, where he makes fun of the HBO lineup of high-quality fare like "Cathouse" and "G-String Divas"; the tongue was embedded in his cheek.

Are there any other physical skills in poker other than not giving off tells (or giving off false tells)?

Chip tricks?

These are certainly stretching it....but:

putting out the number of chips you really intended to (not making some sort of mistake....which actually HAS happened in chess as when a player accidentally grabs the wrong piece).

seeing the cards correctly (both the board as well as one's own cards). i played live for a little while yesterday. Kinda new player to the table...but I read him as fairly solid in my initial impressions...raises UTG. I fold.
He plays whatever hand out...and then flips over his cards. It's J3o.
He looks at it and is shocked "Oh s--t. I must have looked at the same card twice. I swore I had a pair of jacks."
It was pretty funny.

Also - some would argue that sitting on your butt in the aame seat for hours upon hours while withstanding the odors of the players around you could qualify as a physical skill.

Poker is a game.

golf is clearly a sport that requires a lot of athletic skill. i'd say bowling is definately a sport too.

I guess you ever been to the bicycle club. As much as i love poker I really hate going to the casinos because i use to work in one.

Costas is just upset because last time he went to play at a casino the staff had to get him a booster seat so he could see his hole cards.

Poker is not a sport.

Athletes play sports.

Does Greg Raymer look like an athlete to you?

What poker is, is the greatest GAME in the world. So Bob Costas can still kiss my hairy ass.
