Does poker need a
Senior tour like golf, bowling, tennis, Gaelic football…OK, you get the idea. It seems as if darn near every athletic endeavor
has a senior league or senior tour, and since poker is most likely “less athletic
“ than all of the others, why not? Besides,
I can tell you that there is a world of difference in how 50+ fellows play
(that’s what people 50+ call each other, fellows, or the informal "fellahs") versus those young whippersnappers
who seemingly go all-in every other hand.
Anyway, I hope it takes off and is still going strong once I hit 50.
(laugh track goes here) – read all about
it from Poker
News.
The other poker
tidbit I share comes from a new start-up venture called “Friend’s Poker Club.” Maybe you’ve seen their Facebook ads or
stumbled upon their website. If not, I urge you to go there and sign up
for their newsletter. Not that there’s
anything there yet (just the sign up page and the promise of things to come, or
as they say, “Your poker game at home reimagined!” But they’re
doing it right.
How do
I know? Well, one thing they’re doing is
a comprehensive survey of what players WANT from the site (imagine if MySpace
has done this years ago…Mr. Zuckerberg would be eating Skittles and drinking
Jolt Cola instead of champagne and caviar).
No promises that you’d get the call to do the survey if you signed up,
but if you do, they’ll reward you (Amazon gift card for me, thank you!). And a better site to serve you, too (since
that’s the whole idea). Since I’ve got a
new book on Home Poker coming out…soon (maybe by the Spring?)…it seems as if
there’s some synergy going on here. Hope
so.
Or,
and a reminder to go review one of my books on Apple iTunes (iBooks), Nook,
Kindle/Amazon, wherever. Or do ‘em all
if they’ll let you.
