Online poker changed my life
8 05 2008
Let me tell you the story of how I and my friends became poker experts by playing online poker.
For years, I’ve been playing poker every month with my friends, of course because we liked the game, but also to have an excuse to meet around a table and share the last neighbourhood gossips.
No, my name is not Bree or Susan, and sorry, I don’t look like Gabrielle, and anyway, I am not desperate. I don’t know what you are thinking of.
Anyway, I then discovered that I didn’t need to wait our monthly reunion to play my favourite game! My husband, who likes online betting, especially sports betting (he’s a football expert actually!), told me I could play poker online. I think at that time he wanted some peace in the evenings, probably bored of me talking about the fact that the neighbour never stops talking had to be the reason of her husband sneaking out the back door every night to have a cigarette, just under our bedroom window. Strangely, my husband doesn’t seem to care much of what the neighbours do. Gossip seems to be more of a feminine hobby.
So he told me about playing online, and I thought I would give it a try. I thought I would have troubles to start with, but I was surprised to see how easy and simple it was. I personally began with free online poker until I was confident enough to start playing with a little bit of money. Soon I realised our little poker sessions had made me a pretty good player already, and I was quite successful online.
On our next monthly meeting, which I was hosting that month, things went a bit… complicated. Even if they didn’t say a word, my friends seemed to be quite annoyed at me winning all the time. I think I had got a lot better by practicing online! So I ended up folding with the best hands and bluffing really badly in order to loose a little bit and not upset them too much. There was a strange atmosphere that day and I didn’t have a chance to tell them about the old woman across the street who had an argument with her son because his girlfriend had her nose pierced.
So I told them about that online poker thing. How it was easy, safe and secure, and how I improved my technique a lot by playing online.
Next thing I know, they all started playing online too, and one of them even got qualified for the World Series of Poker! I was quite amazed, because some of my friends are not really the computer savvy time of person… but they simply opened their account, used the help sections of the website if needed, and had a great time playing online!
With my friends, we still meet every month, but it’s tough competition now. The level is very high and the tension is almost palpable. We don’t talk much anymore.
The other day, my husband walked into the room and told us he just saw Mrs Smith kissing the postman on her doorstep. We didn’t even look at him. Seriously, who cares?

I really like to play online casino. It’s like there are no days without it. In fact I spend hours and hours staring at my monitor to gamble online. I’ve spend thousands of dollars playing online casinos. I’ve been playing for almost a year now, so I think I still got a lot to learn. Up till now, I still learn it. I keep finding any latest information about strategies, tips or tricks to play online casinos. I have seen many web pages, many links, and even I bought book about it. I’m really curious to find out how a professional gamblers playing.
