had this discussion today with someone else....my thoughts on this.....i think that is has to do with the fact that pros have to be diverse in games in order to make money if they cant get action in there main sport..ps you have alot more time to practice and get great a certain games to gamble at because most of them dont have a 9 to 5 job...and if you dont get good enought at it you a forced to get a reg job...they end up working the grind like us normal stiffs...however there are a few to the exceptions...but in order to get great you have to"pay your dues" which incoportates tons and tons of practice...which alot of times means being unable to keep a "norm" job...and on a final not some people are just natruals..they excell at everything the do...i guess they just dont like to lose....i could be way off here and this wasnt intended to offend anyone just kinda what i think about the subject...i clap for the guys who can make a living do what they love....mickey carroll

I think that people with above average dexterity tend to gravitate towards games that require good hand eye coordination.
