Poker: Is It Worth the Effort
Anyone can learn poker rules quickly enough, online access and interface are easy, and there really is no reason not to try. Online poker is vastly successful. There isn't a gambling site online which does not offer poker games. A dedicated player becomes part of a community, acquires friends, and perhaps even his livelihood.
Free downloads are available for all or most poker game varieties. For the novice, they offer safe practice. You can adjust difficulty so as to easily experience successive winning by trying your hand against p.c. opponents. This enables you to feel the pleasure of addiction spread through your system safely like a shot of good liquor.
You can play all online games cozily in front of your computer. Reading the faces of ten human opponents or worrying about keeping your body language to a minimum are some of the things you don't have to worry about. Just like doing your best at tennis against a wall or shooting up cardboard targets, the mild fun of perfecting your strategy against software is not really comparable to liver action. Technically, there may not be much similarity between a gun fight and a game of poker, and you can depend on a professional not having a sawed off shotgun pointed at you from the other end of a table, unless you are in a Robert Rodriguez movie. They do both involve a constant sense of danger whether it be a gunfight or poker with real money at stake.
For this reason the games against human opponents are not merely fun, but eerily fun. It is this kind of fun that makes addiction of the most powerful kind. Someone may wonder whether poker is anything more than a game of patience, these people may have never handled anything more dangerous than a game of Spider Solitaire. Besides skill, chance or luck it is important that this is the essence of the game. Pervaded by danger is a live poker session without the possibility to reset only to Fold.
Many people are turned off by this. While others feel irresistibly alive while betting on the value of their hands. The controllable factors are having the money, time, and energy to spend. Learning the strategy is an effort you must be willing to make, but to the element of chance you must have the lucid and refined appreciation. A player will lose and grow tired trying if they do not, and instead approach the game simply in crude hope for a few quick wins. One wishes to rinse out, as quickly as possible, the sour taste of danger.
To the real player danger is delicious. That's why he is at the table/computer. The player knows his stuff and his bluff, knows what is practically within his power, and does not indulge vain fantasies. He or she is there for the chance just as the rock climber is there for the sheer height. One must learn to hear the music of chance in the game; then, even an unlucky session will have been worth the effort.
