online poker

Is it good? Is it bad? Will writing this post make those who search for online poker on google find ithacahasgorges.com? I was planning on writing a post about how evil online poker is a few days ago. Before I got the chance I got a call from our old friend Nathan Lucash who you may remember from Ithaca, NY. After a protracted converstion with our friend Nate about how infrequently we post on our blog, I no longer had the energy to post on our blog. Well the reason I was so disillusioned with online poker that particular evening was that I had just lost five tournaments in a row, bringing my total bankroll down to zero dollars (which is hard to do since the tournaments cost $5.50). It was a classic display of addictive behavior as with each loss I became more and more crazed and idiot-playing. Like any rational person who foresees dangerous addiction in its nascent stages I swore off online poker that night. Hold on for a moment, I have to play this ace-queen..nothing came up on theflop so I'm back. So anyway, I swear it off but as I'm closing the poker site for the final time I notice an inexplicable six dollars in my account. Six dollars! Enough for a final tournament with 50 cents to spare! Too many exclamation points?!?!?! No! I was excited. I'm still not sure where those dollars came from. They appear in my account summary under "deposits" as $6 (Bonus). (Bonus)! I think they're from God, or perhaps an online poker site with an especially keen mastery of addiction psychology. All I know is that I now have 32 dollars in my account, and I see no reason why I can't make $20 or so for the rest of my life. Of course it will require me to spend many many hours, but it's so much fun!
