Caribbean Poker Tournament Not All Fun And Sun 

Caribbean Poker Tournament Not All Fun And Sun

Ask ten young, hopeful poker players why they want to turn pro, and you will likely get ten different answers, The one common thread that might run through them, however, would be one that is based on an incorrect assumption. Most people think that high-rolling, globe trotting poker tournament pros live a life of glamour and excitement, but the truth is they hardly ever get to sample the exotic ports of call they travel to. They are to busy working. Scots player Tony Chessa is one such player, who adds to the equation a condition called SAD, or seasonal affective disorder. This disorder brings on bouts of depression, weight gain, and lethargy that is brought on by not enough sunlight during the year. Along with his cloths, Chessa has to stuff a sun lamp in his suitcase, even when traveling to the sunny Caribbean. He plans to check with tournament directors to see if he can use his lightbox at the table; if not, he will use it in his hotel room between matches.
