Poker?

     

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I have really gotten interested in poker lately. Well, me and the rest of the world it seems! Every time I turn on the television, it seems there is some game being played on some channel. I have watched it on television so much that now I know most of the names of the better known pros. I know some people don't approve of gambling, but my grandfather was a big gambler and while I enjoy it, I am not convinced that things like that are genetic because I can take it or leave it. In fact, I play poker online for free - I ain't giving real money that I work hard for to someone online - LOL! Growing up, my mom was a big Yatzee player and I guess that is part of what interests me in poker. I have never played a real game in person with anyone, but it is fun to watch and play online. Anyone else like to play online? Libby

I am not offended at all, I am an avid poker player, too. I also play on line, freeroll of course. This may offend someone out there, but let me explain. I have taught the boys to play poker, after asking Randy's psychiatrist what she thought, she was in agreement it was a good idea. Poker (without money, as in-no gambling) is a game like any other card game. Poker has intricate strategies, excellent math lessons, visual learning qualities, and body language strategies. We play as a family and have a fantastic time. The boys have learned a lot. Glad you posted this blog, it is good. Artcraft

Hi Libby,

Yes, I play online! Love to watch the celebrity poker challenges on TV, and of course Daniel Negareau who's real cute (shhh don't tell hubby!) as well as a gifted and entertaining pro!

Hello! You wrote this blog a long time ago! I was learning poker online as well. I am interested in finding another person to play online with. Are you playing now? I have the links for free AOL poker. Arlene
