The other night, I felt remiss,
Was missing online poker bliss -
Bat'ling beefcakes for cash chips,
Watching chat screens for whining lips,
Forgetting all of life's grimy grits,
While playing for pennies and sharp'ning my wits.
Then I stumbled upon a site,
Which instantly brought me delight -
It seems that gaming subscriptions
Have been deemed not to cause addictions,
Because somehow, once again, legally,
I'm bluffing, check raising, and going 'all in' with glee.

I can imagine the can of worms I would open if I started playing for real money.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it probably isn't the best time for you to start this habit... unless you're playing for free. :)
DeleteAh--you write about this with such glee!! LOve this
ReplyDeleteThank you, Audrey! I do LOVE playing poker. :) I think the subscription site may be a bit more than I care to spend playing, but I'm trying it out for now. I had to share my glee about finding somewhere to play. :)
DeleteGlad that you found your bliss! Chips ahoy :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, SaraV! I learned to play VERY young. When I sit at the table its sort of like visiting my grandpa. :)
DeleteWhenever I think about online gambling, I play one of the FB games. After I've lost all my "coins" I recall why I don't get involved in online gambling.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good plan Jeffrey! I used to be able to make $25 last 6 months minimum on PokerStars.com. They have these $1 and $2 tournaments that I loved and did well in. :)
