Associated Press: Pays to be in shape for poker - really
AP: Pays to be in shape for poker - really
"First, a disclaimer: This subject is ridiculous. Advancing the notion of poker as sport and its players as athletes will certainly get you laughed at out in the real world - away from the gambling hall - and possibly slapped around by anyone who has ever made a living at basketball, golf or even bowling, for that matter...
...Jeff Pulver, who admits to only working out once or twice a month - "not what my cardiologist wants to hear" - starts getting ready a week in advance, staying up late to get his body clock used to the long hours and late nights.
"It's the ultimate game of survival," he said. "What other game are there 2,000 people in a room and all of them are out to get you? It's 120 to 140 hours of poker. It's 12 to 15 hours a day. You have to do something to try to get on top of your game."
