Fail.

When is the last time you've seen a fat professional racer?

There's a reason for that. It's actually VERY physically demanding to race for several hours at that level.

if you can call GOLF a sport you have to say poker is a sport.
You see fat golfers all the time, old fat ones. They don't even walk to the ball they driver in a cart there and take ONE swing.
When have you heard someone getting injured playing golf?

Have you played Golf? It is easy to get injured while taking a swing. The best player in golf, Tiger Woods, missed alot of time in the last couple of years due to a knee injury.

Ive played quite a bit of golf, and its hard to get injured if you swing properly....

LMFAO EPIC FAIL.

You're stupid as FUCK if you think F1 isn't demanding. Feeling 2-3+ G's pushing against you for each turn isn't "physically" demanding? Maybe the humid temperatures in Valencia, China, Singapore and Abu Dhabi are pretty easy to endure in fire-suits...right?

The list goes on. You're just an idiot.

I agree with the physical demand of auto racing.

On the poker note, I'm extremely disappointed with the result of the WSOP.

The biggest lucksack won. I didn't see him outplay anyone on the final table - just get lucky everytime he was all in. All in w/ 22 and 33 when he had like 40 BB's? And every time, set in the window. WTF?!?!?!

Overall, the final table was a fucking joke. Not because Ivey, Shulman or Saout didn't win but because it felt like poker (as a skill game) lost. I've only seen about 100 of the key hands played (that weren't televised) but there wasn't any real PLAY involved. It was an all-in fest and the luckiest guy won.

LOL at that team 1040 thing. can't believe i havn't heard about it til now

i agree, you totally need a quick mind and skill sets your average person lacks. Go go-karting and try to perfect that shit, even that's hard .

I just figured there weren't any fat ones cause that would be counter-productive due to their extra weight.

I'm sorry i'm not as knowledgeable about f1 as some of you other, I think it's boring and i don't follow it, but i guess that makes me an idiot. :rolleyes:

qft

darvin moon played the fucken worst poker ever and still managed second place. He was just lucky his stack was huge. All he did when someone reraised him, no matter what hand he held, was go all in. FUCKEN STUPID

You're on a car enthusiate website...and have no clue about f1 or about the phsyical demands of motorsports? GTFO idiot.

You're telling me all 55,000+ members here know about f1 and the physical demands of motorsport? :rolleyes:
QFT

Pretty much yeah. I'm sure they know it's physically demanding, only a idiot like yourself would think it's not.

Hell even driving from Vancouver to Whistler or Vancouver to Seattle is physically demanding to an extent but NO WHERE close to the physical demands of F1.

^ just go karting for an hour, usually after karting for an hour my arms are like noodles lol. NO POWER STEERING FTL

wow, you're ignorant as fcuk if you really think that.

and you can argue that lots of things are physically demanding if you do it for long enough, which was pratt's whole argument about why poker should be a sport.

I've never noticed any of your posts nor your nickname, but your comments on this thread confirm your idiocy.

^ Why thank you

Anyone else see Ivey fold the winning hand when he rivered a flush with his pocket pair, but mucked when his opponent showed only a higher pair? I think it cost him around 2 mil in chips.

LOL damn I must've hit on a nerve..you must be one of those "hardcore" poker players that think they're the shit cause they made a couple G's playing and then lost it LOL

Oh hey! Guess you really are stupid and didn't bother to read between the lines. What about this since you think F1 is extremely easy and shouldn't even be considered a sport why don't you try beating the top times @ F440 with the top-karts? Do it for 3 hours straight with no breaks then report back alright?

That's probably 1% of what F1 drivers feel and please keep arguing that F1 isn't considered a sport please...feel free to humiliate yourself more okay? :)

LoL... what a n00b. :lol

Fully agree with this, for those of you that don't really understand the physical demands of F1 or the physical training involved watch these vids:

One of my drinking buddies is a reserve driver on the F1 circuit, and his training days basically involve 1 hour of running steps, 45 mins of swimming laps, 1 hour of gym/core/weights work and another 1 hour of running. It's not just jumping in a car and driving from point A to B.

I'm not a "hardcore" poker player, and I actually don't think poker is a sport. I also never said F1 was easy, nor did i keep arguing it wasn't a sport. I just didn't think it was as physically demanding as other sports, but I guess those vids suggest otherwise. And HP, please keep up with your condescending ways, RS wouldn't be RS without people like you. :thumbsup:

I'd love to have drinks with your buddy :D

^
Ya suck his dick while your at it wont ya?

Oh no dude! That really hurt....:eek: idiot..

So I guess you aren't going to prove me wrong by doing an endurance run @ F440 then? :confused: It's alright though, you're my bitch now :)
