I’ve gotten into trying online poker, and I found this article in an internet search.

Basically it’s about supposed really smart kids who were great at chess and have taken up poker to make money. There is a brother who has already started playing and making money, and a sister who has started after being encouraged by her mom that, “…it’s free money for smart people.”

I certainly hope this is the case, but I never can stand when people use this tone. It’s not terrible, but it’s obviously an elitist attitude no better than the type many top athletes have. Apparently her children are god’s gift to intelligence and the rest of the world are schmoes. Here’s to hoping they run into some competent poker players.
