Online poker...

I like playing poker...but I suck at it. I am impatient, I have a million 'tells', I don't like to bet/lose my money, I have a mild case of A.D.D....oh, did I mention I was impatient?

Well, I discovered online poker is well suited for me. I can play multiple hands at a time. The action is fast because I am playing various hands. No one can see me so my tells aren't obvious. Plus, no one stalls to bluff because there is a time limit when it is your turn. Also you sign up and deposit money so it doesn't 'feel' like real money when you play.

I decided to give it a go and wouldn't you know it...I am decent playing online poker. Unfortunately playing is very addictive. I can play when I want...for as short/long as I want. I even entered a tournament. Out of 350,000 players, I came in 2,014th place.

After about a month of playing and losing...I have decided that while fun, I can think of better ways to spend my money. When does Fantasy Football season start??
