Today’s Boston Globe ran an article about the Harvard Law School seminar that I attended recently. I remembered meeting this reporter but thought she was from Harvard’s paper, the Crimson. I probably would have put more thought into how I portrayed myself, but I think I come off pretty well and not like a degenerate:
“The message resonated with some of the dozens of students and poker players who came to hear Addington speak. Andrew Brokos, 25, who makes money playing poker online 25 to 30 hours each week and teaches debate to Boston public school students, said that while he never hands out cards and chips to his students, the skills he teaches are similar to “no limit hold ’em.”
Debaters must watch their opponents closely, play each argument strategically, and use “crystallized aggression” to win a debate – the same way they would try to win a high-stakes hand, he said.”
