Default The Daily Show\'s poker story

I think it aired last night, but I just caught the replay this morning on Comedy Central. Really funny stuff talking about a guy at Princeton who won $90K online, and an interview with a gambling conselor who is a recovering gambooooler who says anyone who gambles will go broke in time. Really really funny stuff, I think they will replay it on Comedy Central tonight at 7:00pm EST.

I know one thing, the more you play, the less money you will have.


Strange how I have the opposite problem.

I like how he used to gamble on everything, including:

"how many cockroaches would crawl out from under the rug"

Is that a new table game at Wynn?

Michael Sandburg. I could have sworn I'd seen that name on these boards or at a WPT event -- is he MLG or MBE or someone?

Yeah, but I think it's called "David Sklansky's All-In How Many Cockroaches Will Crawl Out From Under the Rug"
