Perfect for those who cannot get enough of the channel Horse & Country or Foosball TV. Now I finally know where I can watch them in the same place!
ESPN 8 can only cover so many sports. There’s only so many hours in the day!
Make sure to watch Brunson Doyle play poker again! When was this tourney recorded? Yes!
Doyle died last year
I feel like having to explain the joke really improves the joke... But here goes. I know Brunson died. My point is that ESPN 8 airs random poker tournaments that you're not sure when they happened or when they were recorded. Picking Brunson reinforces that point as he was well known and the only way you could be watching him was if it was an old tournament since he is dead. Also, I intentionally said his name backwards.

Offtopic: People consider poker a sport?
For marketing and sponsorship purposes, Poker can be considered a sport.
I used to love watching Late Night Poker on Channel 4 in the UK. The under table views and the strategies were great to watch, from the World Series Of Poker events. No idea if somewhere still televises Poker in this way, might have to check this channel out
Eh, if esports count as sports, then why not?
eSports require skill, poker is primarily a game of chance with some memorizing of odds. Slot machines, craps, roulette, etc aren't either.
I'm not a huge poker head, but I wholeheartedly disagree. Bluffing and decision-making is a huge part of the game. There's so much more to it than being lucky enough to get dealt good cards. You can eliminate a lot of the competition at a table without ever even showing your hand if you know what you're doing.
Quick edit: But I agree there is no skill involved in the any of the other games you mentioned.
I'm not saying that poker doesn't require deception or decision making, but if that's what made a sport then adulterers, lawyers, and politicians would all be athletes. When it comes down to it, actually winning is purely up to chance as no one has won a championship on the last hand of an all-in tournament because you bluffed enough to get the other person to fold with everything in the middle. Still requires a winning hand and a winning hand is pure chance.
Incorrect, sorry. Poker isn't my thing personally because I don't gamble, but it absolutely requires a titanic amount of physical and mental endurance. And calculating odds and reading your opponent is not as simple as you imagine.
Again, deception, decision making, physical and/or mental ability aren't things that make something a sport itself. Chess is a sport and requires all those things. Chess would not be a sport if the pieces the players were allowed to use each turn were randomly drawn from a deck and changed each turn.
I'm not saying it's simple, I played poker casually and in competition for a number of years, but that still doesn't make it a sport.
There are elements of chance and randomness in all sorts of sports though. Your skill is determined by your ability to overcome the moments when chance, randomness, and "luck" are not in your favor. A very unlucky, but very experienced poker player would be able to use his skills to overcome that. And even still, there are plenty of sports where the better-skilled competitor doesn't akways win, simply because they were unlucky.
