Colombia – The Player. Note Interest.

Antonio J.

Garcia Sierra .

As a preamble to understand why sports channels such as Fox Sports and ESPN poker championships and promote their big bets worth millions, I set the task of confronting the following meanings:

Game, by definition, is a recreational activity subject to rules. For example, card game. Sport is described as a physical activity performed as game or competition, which involves training and practice subject to rules.

Vice is the excessive fondness for something, especially if it is harmful. They also checked the highest alert Fedor Dostoevsky anestesiante offers the power of the game, in his book ‘The Player’, a novel published in 1886, in which the main character is the author’s privacy.

It raises the strength and authoritarianism of Tsarist Russia, its characters, being tormented, economically, politically and morally, discussed in indoor and dark mazes succumbing in the old dilemmas that compromise the Russian society, but that eventually encompass all human existence .

The tournaments in question are performed in the United States for 35 years, the entries range from 1,300 to $ 3,000, and the final price between two and ten billion dollars. There are players who are thirsty for victory, eager to leap to fame through his favorite game, risking other extra money they expect the luck comes with a coup de grace and become millionaires overnight (something similar to the phenomenon of the pyramids so fashionable in Colombia).

Many athletes have recently entered this tournament and their clubs have sanctioned. Example: “El Pampa” Sosa, the Argentine player Naples, Italy; Mauro Pineda, former footballers Tony Cascarino, Teddy Sheringham, Tomas Brolin, former tennis player Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Spanish basketball player Juan Carlos Barros.
