Poker is a strange game - some consider it a sport. I've been playing hold 'em poker since I was a nipper and been watching WSOP and other games ever since YouTube started showing the videos - and now on ESPN. I really enjoy the game, even though I am TERRIBLE at playing it.
It is a little frustrating that it takes such a long time to see these tournaments months after they are played, but the reasons for this is understandable - There is too much poker to fit into an hour (or so)'s worth of television.

Play a little now and then, have had a few money finishes on free roll (FullTilt). My tournament winnings are at a huge $6. Also, played a few times live.
A bit of fun, just a game. Although there's big money in online Poker and big tourney events. Tom Dwan makes millions a year online after starting off with $100 (or so the story goes). Ivey must rake in stacks too.
