Charles Nesson Calls for Presidential Candidates to Play Poker in Colbert Report Appearance


"Quintessential American Game" Reveals Strategic Thinking Ability and other Life Skills Says Harvard Professor

NEW YORK, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Harvard Law School Professor Charles Nesson made a special appearance as a guest on COMEDY CENTRAL's The Colbert Report last night to talk about the virtues of poker as a teaching tool, call for legalizing poker games online, and to propose hosting a poker game for presidential candidates to test their skill and strategic acumen. Professor Nesson's appearance can be seen in rebroadcast on COMEDY CENTRAL today at 8:30 PM EST.

During the interview with Stephen Colbert, Charles Nesson, founder and President of the Global Poker Strategic Thinking Society (GPSTS) said, "I want to make poker a legitimate thing for teaching strategy ... Poker is a marvelous game for seeing what a situation looks like from the other side."

"But why not play with your buddies around the table?" Colbert asked.

"Online is like a school and it is right there for you and it is an easier way to master the mathematics of it," Nesson said, as to why Americans should have the right to play online poker. "I have made it my mission to make poker legitimate as a teaching tool and a learning tool," Nesson continued.

The interview concluded with Nesson proposing that Colbert team-up with Nesson by inviting the presidential candidates to play poker to show their strategic skills in front of a camera. Colbert endorsed Nesson's proposal saying, "That would be nice ... I can just see Hillary with the sunglasses with the little snake eyes on them."

Elaborating on the idea, Professor Charles Nesson said, "Poker is a quintessentially American game that draws on the best traditions in our
culture, mixing individualism and sociability, and placing a premium on smarts," Nesson said. "Poker is more than just a fun game; it has real
educational possibilities. It is one of the best tools we have to teach negotiation, risk assessment, strategic thinking and other essential life
skills," Nesson continued. "This is an exciting opportunity for the public to see how poker provides important insights into a candidates' personality more effectively than any debate."

About GPSTS

Founded by Harvard Law Professor Charles Nesson, the Global Poker Strategic Thinking Society views pokers as a game of skill that can be used as a teaching tool at all levels of academia and in secondary education.

The goal is to create an open online curriculum centered on poker that will draw the brightest minds together, both within and outside of the conventional university setting, to promote open education and Internet democracy.
