A monkey named Mikey has been officially sponsored into this years World Series of Poker.

Here is a link to a video on Good Morning America about it: http://www.yahoo.com/s/353632

I'm not sure what to think but I am pretty sure I could beat a monkey any day in poker.. I'm sure he is decent though, and the funny thing is he will probably beat some people LOL!

It's one thing to go all in and lose, but to a monkey? Ouch. That will be one tough loss.

Hehehe, that's pretty funny. I'll have to see if I can catch it on TV.

Somehow I just can't see him sitting still and relatively quiet if anyone else at the table is taking their time deciding their next bet. It sure will be interesting to see who he can beat - I don't know if I'd come back for next year for free if a monkey beat me .... then again, it might be an advantage - people will think you're an idiot and underestimate the mighty brain lurking behind that overhanging brow and deep-set eyes
