    Hahaha, that site is brilliant. Its like the Onion crossed with 2+2...

    "Man loses Olympic torch in cash game... 'He had quads... what are the chances!'" LOL

    On a serious note I dont know why they dont have poker in the Olympics! They have Chess (dont they) and Bridge so why not Poker?

    Becuase you couldn't play for money (and wouldn't have to invest any of your own) can you see any poker player taking it seriously?

    I think the money wouldnt be the issue, the glory and bragging rights (not to mention the sponsorship opportunities) would make people play their best.

    Why do those athletes run so fast... they aint getting paid either! :)
