Interested in a Poker Forum?

[Soultrader 12]

Hi all,

 

Wanted to see some feedback regarding whether or not to include a poker forum. I dont want to call it "Poker Forum" but more in the form of "Trading and Poker".

 

If you have read Zen and the Art of Poker, you will see how these two professions share many similarities from discipline, patience, probabilities, and psychology. I am sure poker players have a lot they can discuss in relation to trading. (it can get quite deep!)

 

Any feedback is appreciated! Also, if you have a title for the forum please post here! Thanks.

Poker is something I played many years ago and I have been interested in online poker but never pursued it further. If you set up a forum here then I would be interested.

Sure, why not? Give us something to do besides just talk about trading since apparently no one likes discussing hockey with me :\

Maybe b/c hockey is so incredibly boring and is a dying league. :rofl:

 

Don't worry, the NFL starts soon James and you can watch a real sport and league in action.

I think this is the most interesting thing we've seen here in a while - we have a new poster that also happened to write a poker book (assuming I found the right guy, but I'm pretty sure).

Now there's something that could bridge together James - we have a poker author here on the forum AND also a trader. Could be fun to interact with him.

It's okay, I know you're still upset after that miserable drive in 1987 :haha: But it's alright, I prefer physical sports with physically fit athletes

 

James - I say give the poker forum a shot.

hmm... im getting mixed feedback from members. I will wait a bit on this.

Being one that voted yes, I have to ask - what's the big deal if there is a poker area here? If some don't like it, don't visit the area.

I agree, I don't really get it either. While I voted yes, I don't really play poker but it would be interesting.

I guess I still think though it would be better to have a non trading speculation section to keep some interesting things from getting lost in the "generalness" of the general section.

Thanks for all the responses. I will have something created by the end of the week as I am currently in the middle of making some changes to the way the forums are layed out. Thanks
