Poker Central and PokerGO continue to provide punters with a steady stream of original content with the creation of a reality TV show called Major Wager, featuring the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari, and Samantha Abernathy.

My lad is fascinated by a YouTube channel where people bathe in glue, staple their foreskins to the inside of their thighs, and all manner of bizarre self-mutilative practices. Impaling a scrotum on a chopstick is not my idea of fun, but what do I know? When I was his age, we only had three TV channels.

Of course, it makes sense, the dare and double dare has been a part of the draconian drill of childhood for generations. If you refuse to be involved, you are a sinner, and you will burn in hell.

So, when I entered the beehive of the poker world, I wasn’t surprised to see a few of these damaging stings in amongst all the honey. Professional poker players play a game of cards for a living, how close to your childhood do you want to get.
