Why is there not more of an interest in poker among AP's? Initially I would suspect that this is because poker contains more of a grey area as far as advantages not being as easily justifiable by math, but as I have began to take more of an interest in poker I am starting to feel this is a naive way of thinking.
It appears to me that poker offers a vast amount of AP opportunity given the following considerations:
1. Longevity-When you find a juicy game you can camp out as long as you'd like or until the juice dissipates.
2. Accessibility-There is no shortage on games of all shapes and sizes. Many players don't even need to get out of bed to go to work at the poker table.
3. Promotions-House added $$, Free-rolls, Rakebacks, etc. Imagine getting a loss-rebate on a game that pays 2:1 blackjacks!
Now don't get me wrong, the purpose of this thread is not to express that I am selling out to become a poker dweeb. I believe there is an element of satisfaction to be had from playing cat and mouse with the casino and beating house-banked games. Although I do feel like poker offers a realm of opportunity that is often overlooked by general AP's.
