Post I have an Addiction
A Poker Addiction.

I am a damn fine LIVE Poker player ... online ... not so much.

I lost 200$ in my last go round, about a month ago. Much like touching a hot stove, it makes you think an extra second before putting your hand back down to get burned again.

Well that second is up, and another 200$ just went in :razz:



Use this thread to explain to me how stupid I am being. I won't listen, but I will get a kick out of you yelling at me. =;

everytime you gamble, God creates a less attractive woman.

Think of the men eagle. Think of the men.

Everytime you <strike>kill a kitten</strike> don't fold with a two and a seven, God masturbates.

Or something along those lines.

I always fold 2 and 7 ... even suited!

Unless I am SB ... in which case if I have a read on the BB I might play a little bit.

Strait or Royal Flush beats 4 aces.

As for the house and the farm ... good advice! I will keep playing until I win back all I have lost gambling.

I am up 25$ in my current adventure .... so 25 down ... 1175 to go.

These online hands are $200 a pop? :shock: And to think I felt all guilty about paying the extra quarter for organic.

When I was in Vegas, I tried -- tried -- to lose money on the video slot machines and just couldn't do it. I said -- lawks, this is ridiculous. It's like playing Diablo I except I have to put in a nickel every time I hit the "fire" button.
A few months ago I ripped torrino for a $3.50 Starbucks.

You can make up your own Erendis lecture based on that. :xena:

No there not 200$ a pop ... rather I put 200$ into my account to gamble with .. the hands can be anywhere from 10 cents to 50$ a pop.

I have played a few 500$ heads up matches before as well. Those were fun, I am 1 -1 in them ... winning is a hoot ... loosing ... not so much. Things get broken.

I always wonder how you can trust these sites, especially when many of them are in some offshore place where you couldn't even sue them if you found out they were crooked.

It's probably a trust system, like with eBay. You can't really trust them, but these sites need paying customers to make money, and the best way to keep is to maintain a good reputation.

All of these sites are shady, almost all of them are also into online pornography (and other things).

My friend works in the web-banner/pop-up industry... she knows them.

The two biggest moneymakers in the world (besides drugs) - gambling and porn.
