i have to be honest, i can say i am now a poker addict! wait.. let me clear this.. I'm not the person who goes to casinos, sits on a table, bet with real hard earned money and play the game! what I'm talking about is virtual poker.
you see, it all started when a friend invited me to this very interesting site where you can be connected with family and friends all over the world through the powers of the Internet. moreover, meet strangers and can interact with them just by adding an application such as p.o.k.e.r.!
its as simple as ABC. with just a click of a button (check/call/raise/fold), you can win lots of chips! from hundreds to thousands, thousands to hundreds of thousands, even millions (if you're darn lucky). virtually, of course! and with those won chips, your status will change to how much you've leveled up. but also, you can lose a lot too (if you don't know the strategy! ehem!) haha..
it would be hard to win hundreds and thousands in a sitting. Yes, patiently you have to go room to room and find that lucky table or chair to boost you up, win and be happy till the end of the day. Well, but it is much more painful and agonizing to lose them little by little, especially in a split second... See, your chips will gone... all gone... and POOF! ironically in just 1 hand! ouchie!
what is more painful in poker is when you really really know that you will win this round because you have a very good hand (2 wow cards) and then confidently place your bet in an "all in" mode, and surely that your FULL HOUSE (a pair + 3 of a kind) is so unbeatable.. then after that moment the River (the last of the 5 cards to open) opens.. and then WHAM! your opponent shows you a quadruple (4 of a kind) hand! "NOOO"! suddenly your heartbeat starts to pump much more than it usually does, your body starts to shake and realize.. CRAP! #@&%! you've lost! what a murder!!! waaaaaaaaaa... well, this has happened to me, really (and other more eye-widening and mouth-dropping situations).. and its really a G.R.R. moment! Oh well, good thing its just Internet chips.. whew! hihihi!
us, (ehem) poker players in that site, most of us have this sort of 'separation anxiety' over the fake money! that's why i get to react that way when losing.. why? duh! its because.. well.. i shall say it was hard work.. I mean, sleepless nights on getting a stat from beginner to a Pro 500K player (which is what my status is now), the heart raising and nail-biting bluffs, the drama of begging to Pro 5M players to give back your lost chips.. etc.. but for some, its a waste of time!.. (true.. even my dad thinks this!)
the reason why i am sharing this is because... its MY addiction, mine! and that's about it!
