Poker 2006: The State of Play’ – a comprehensive survey published today by paddypowerpoker.com delves deep into the hearts and minds of British and Irish poker players and finds that:
- 55% of all poker players have played the game naked or in their underwear (Do my jammies count?)
- 63% would rather play poker than have sex. (The specific question was candlelight dinner and mind blowing sex VS a heads up game where the winner gets an all expense paid trip to the WSOP in Las Vegas)
- 13% have injured themselves playing poker. (What?! How is this possible? I read further... the injuries are falling off charis, kicking doors, punching walls, spilling coffee)
- 37% have told little white lies in order to play poker.
- 71% have wanted to destroy their computers after a ‘bad beat’.
- 81% believe poker is a game of skill.
- 38% play poker every day.
Given the choice of playing a game of poker with a historical figure, Elvis narrowly won out over gun slinger and poker legend Wild Bill Hickok. Almost as many people wanted to play with Hitler as Jesus.
