The folks from Quadjacks.com compiled 10 of their favorite hallway interviews at this year’s World Series of Poker.

Among those interviews, American comedian Ray Romano talks about why comedians make poor poker players.  He’s been entering the WSOP event for the last 6 years now.

As he puts it in this interview, he “looks forward to it all year, and it’s devastating when you bust.”

From Quadjacks.com:

We think Romano may have been on to something when, earlier that day, he told his table, “Comedians can’t be good poker players because we want everybody to love us.” Romano explains how his soft-hearted attitude often makes him do things he shouldn’t tactically be doing, like showing everybody his cards, taking it easy on the short-stacks, etc. Hell, from a guy whose show used to be called “Everybody Loves Raymond,” we don’t have a hard time believing what Ray is saying.
