Lately I decided that I would try my hand at this whole internet poker craze that has been hitting pretty hard lately. Before you decide that you should spend some of your hard earned cash on some internet poker, let me point out a few things that I have learned.
1. The first rule of any sort of gambling is that you should never spend any money that is already needed in another area such as rent money, credit card bills, etc.
2. Don't go into poker expecting to walk out a winner. Poker is a game, and should be treated as such. If you think that Poker is going to make you rich or help you support your income, than you shouldn't really be gambling your money in the first place.
3. Say what you want to say, but poker is a game of luck! If you are holding pocket aces, somebody, can hit a gut shot straight on the the flop and you'll be beat with 2 rounds of betting left. So be cautious and don't put out more than you can happily (or afford) to lose.
With that being said I would just like to tell everybody that poker is a wonderful game which can make you broke, but at the same time one hand can make you a weeks paycheck or more. I have yet to see any return on my investment, but have come close to hitting a big payday a couple of times. I guess just enough to keep me coming back for more. So to all out there with me in the virtual casino, good cards and good luck (unless you're playing me).
P.S. If anybody out there plays on Pokerstars or Fulltilt, hit me up for a private game or something. My Id is Taiza67 on both.
P.S.S. Apparently now Poker is a sport in Russia...who knew?

Poker may be a game of luck - but variance can be countered with massive volume.
