My local newspaper has all kinds of results in its 'sports' section on a Saturday night; Angling, Cribbage, Dominoes to name but a few. When i enquired about including our Card Room results the Sport Editor refused stating "poker is not a sport!"
Does anybodies local paper include the results from their card room on a regular basis?

Nope
I would also think all those Anonymouses we get on the results would prefer them kept out too, before the CSA spots them!

Are you agreeing with the editor; Poker results have no place in the sports section of a newspaper? or are you just saying they wouldn't make good copy?

I think a good "rub down" section in the local paper would increase readership

Who would want to read a list of results from the local cardroom?
Even the people who play in a comp. typically leave as soon as they exit, and have little interest in who wins it.
(BTW, I don't think Poker is a sport).

I want to put the results in to attract more people to the room; people interested in poker would read the results! Just as i assume the cribbage fraternity can't wait for there Saturday results service.

Poker should be in the Olympics
Perhaps then local newspapers would listen

I think newspapers could/should run poker hand puzzles (like they do with chess, bridge, etc.). I think that would be far more interesting to readers than results of tournaments.
I also don't think that poker can be considered a 'sport' - but neither are dominoes, cribbage, and the like.

And call it something like 'Hand Analysis'? I guess that wouldn't be too controversial...................  |

How many people regularly look at the results service in the Live Poker section of Blonde? (And just looking for your own nane doesn't count!!). I gotta be honest - just looked at this for the first time (as a result of this thread), and only to check that there was really some results on it. |

There's one on the back of The Times 2 everyday, although I think it's more of a full tilt ad. |
