Keeping Cool at the Table
There are certainly many who feel there is a difference between online casinos
and land poker gambling, but for some, the game is still a testament to how to
keep an even temperament when there are thousands of dollars at stake. A newly
tennis turned poker professional player, Boris Becker, is interested in how well
some of the world’s most temperamental sports players would fair betting at the
land and online casinos tournaments. Becker joined the poker industry just last
year, but he remarks that he has played intensively throughout that year and is
now representing Poker Stars.
And while Becker is fascinated with both land and online casinos poker, he is
really interested in the human element to the game. Becker is interested in the
“psychology” of the game, he remarks. He wants to know “what is my opponent
thinking of me and what do I think of him." And it doesn’t stop there, Becker
has actually issued a challenge to some other Wimbledon regulars – join the
online casinos poker rooms for a game of high-stakes poker. That’s when Becker
wonders "how people like Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, John McEnroe, Stefan
Edberg, Ivan Lendl or even Jimmy Connors, [would] manage to keep their cool at
poker."
For now though the online casinos industry will have to be content with just one
poker stars joining the poker games. Becker will play both live and internet
based tournaments for the Poker Stars gambling site. Though he is still new to
the industry, players can expect that he is ready for all of the challenges. |
