Poker, Me, and all the rest of the baggage
I haven't been able to figure out how I lost interest in Poker and yet didn't lose interest in poker. I think it is because I take too many things seriously. I have a sister that makes me a piker in that respect and I do have the saving grace of a sense of humor--strange as it might be.
I don't have a problem with the beats. I can actually laugh at a lot of them. And there is a little, tiny part of me that enjoys being beat by a good play--minuscule but it is there. What I have never done is suffered fools with grace. And, that 'isn't allowed' at a poker table--you don't tap on the glass, right?
I think that is why I don't play as much. I don't know if this makes any sense. I am not sure if I really think that is it. But, it is as close as I have come to date.
