Poker Playing Spreads Across US Campuses

Filed in archive Poker by jo on March 14, 2005

Seems that college kids across the US are finding poker a great way to make a tidy sum.

Some students can spend as much as 10 hours a day playing Texas Hold'em - and often winning - treating the game and its potential profit more like a real job than a hobby

Experts say the evidence of gambling's popularity on campuses is hard to miss. In December, for example, a sorority at Columbia Universitylinks conducted its first, 80-player, poker tournament with a $10 buy-in - the minimum amount required to play - while the University of North Carolina conducted its first tournament, a 175-player competition, in October.
