The Draw of Online Poker
Rooms
by Jerry "Jet" Whittaker

There is no greater
craze, than that of online gambling, and more
specifically, online poker rooms. Their draw is almost
magical and success stories abound. Even mediocre
players have won thousands leading to them quit their
jobs and become professional players in online poker
rooms. It is now easier than ever to gamble online.
High-speed DSL connections have enhanced the environment
for playing in online poker rooms. Players can enjoy
the game while sitting in the comfort of their own
homes. What can be more pleasurable than pitting your
poker skills against the competition while sipping on
your favorite beverage and counting your winnings?
To play, first, pick an
exotic name. No one uses his or her real name. Picking
the right name is part of the fun. Choose a name that
fits your personality, if not your alter ego. The name
you decide on will take on an aura of its own providing
a mystique to the game. Once you choose just the right
name, log on to the online poker room of your choice,
and have fun.
Certainly, playing in an
online poker room, one hopes to leave the game a
winner. After all, that is what gambling is all about.
There is another side to online poker rooms. There is
the sheer enjoyment of playing the cards. If you are an
astute gambler, you quickly learn the betting habits of
the other players, giving you the edge that makes a
difference in whether you leave a winner or a loser. To
be sure, there are winners. Thousands and thousands of
dollars pass hands every hour and there is every
possibility one of those hands may be yours.
Winning and losing
aside, online poker rooms can provide hours of pleasure
to anyone wanting to play. Even shut-ins and those
immobilized by accidents or illness can participate and
perhaps even become a big winner. Online poker rooms
can open doors that otherwise remain shut to invalids
and those that shun crowds. This may not seem like so
much to those more fortunate but for the disabled,
online poker rooms offer hours of enjoyment and maybe a
stack of cash.
Professional gamblers
aside; accept
online poker rooms for what they are; a place to
pass a few enjoyable hours while maybe winning a few
bucks. Even if you manage to lose a couple of dollars,
you can chalk it up to an evening of entertainment and
best of all; you do not have to pay a baby sitter.
