Interesting? You obviously haven't played much poker in a casino environment. Now it doesn't apply to everyone obviously, but by and large the most shady, degenerate low lives I have ever met in my life collectively have come from my hours at poker. And most of the conversations involve shallow discussion of hands by ego maniacs or complaints of beats.

What this author (promoter) seems to either forget or ignore is that gambling, and poker in particular, is synonymous with hustlers, criminals and two-bit cheats.
