Michael Phelps: The Next Chris Moneymaker? OnlinePokerReport.com
MP can do anything he wants
The man wins Gold Medals like they are toys in a drop and grab machine. I say why not. If he has people like Harmon and E teaching him, he is clearly studying the game with the right people. I am curious tho which sites he has been playing on...LOL
He could make some money from poker. But all from endorsements, not from actually playing.
His choice but we know he has luck and skill in other things. It would be rather the luck and skill could be transferd an the only way to find out is if he realy did try.
I'd play him heads up for rolls.
sounds good to me ,,, if it will get USA poker sites
GThis would definitely be interesting to see unfold... will try to keep an eye on it, if I remember lol
As tall as he is he would have a birdseye view of the table.
man, this is man is fantastic man ;)
I couldn't see him playing in online games, though possibly live games? Anything with publicity he'd probley do. But I doubt online.
If he makes a televised final table, do you think they will cut to his mom every 30 seconds like they do when he is in the pool?
I think he is going to travel for a while first. But I'm sure he's got the cash to do anything he wants.
He will probably just play live, unless online makes a comeback.
lol wouldnt be shocked what else is he gonna do with his life....done swimming...he is making mad dough off edorsements so why not gamble it all away! lol good for him!
plus after he has to pay mad taxes on his gold medals lol....u win 25k when u get a gold medal and IRS taxes 9k so ridiculous....and the gold is worth like $600-800 the charge like another $240 on that too lmao....FUCK THEM!
He'll end up training future swimmers, hopefully he stays with that and tv
you never know he could be the new face for full tilt!
It would be interesting if he did turn to poker lol.
With those ears he can surely catch up a whispering poker tell. Gl future donk
i would love to crush him lol he can try but neverr
michael phelps did horrible in swimming what happened>?
