If you ask a group of poker players what attributes are essential for success, a few traits would pop up on just about every list. Aggression, patience, the ability to read opponents, a smidgen of computational skill, and that mysterious quality known as "heart". All very true.
But one overlooked characteristic great poker players share is endurance. The ability to sit at the table for hour after hour (after hour) and still make good decisions is extremely important. During major poker tournaments it's not unusual to put in 12-hour days...for four or five days in a row. Maintaining focus when you're at the tail end of yet another marathon session can be the difference between first place and the rail.
To that end, poker players are always looking for ways to keep their wits sharp. They listen to music, eat macrobiotic food, and guzzle amped-up sports drinks. And now poker players have a beverage made specifically for them--Pro Player Endurance Formula, a new sports drink that is endorsed by ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. Pro Player Endurance Formula nourishes the crashing rounder with ginko biloba, green tea extract, taurine, and caffeine.
Said Phil about this new beverage:
"I'm excited about this refreshing product because it can truly change the way you feel during a long poker session. Other drinks pump you up for an hour or two and then bring you down a short time later. Pro Player pumps me up for several hours without the crash and burn, allowing me to stay focused on taking out players. It also tastes great."
If you want more info about what exactly Pro Player tastes like, that I can't tell you. Though maybe Phil does when he says, "With Pro Player, I can almost taste my 11th WSOP bracelet." If anyone knows what a World Series bracelet tastes like, it's Phil Hellmuth.
