If Carlsberg did dull poker blogs, they'd do this one

Sunday night is traditionally when all the online sites host massive guaranteed prize tourneys. Yesterday I couldn"t decide which I was going to have a go at so I did something radical which some of the internet-playing whizzkids are probably unfamiliar with. I switched off my computer, set foot outside my flat on a day when I didn"t have to be at work and went to meet a ...... GIRL. Yes folks, a real flesh and blood one rather than the type that has to be inflated. What"s more she looked enthralled as I went through my full range of bad beat stories. So folks, I have made an important discovery. The way to a lady"s heart isn"t through diamonds, or for the more fiscally-challenged amongst us, chocolate, its through poker! So the next time I"m a free man and lurking in the temples of sin along Norwich"s Prince of Wales Road I have a plan. When my eyes meet a suitable lady of my choosing, I"ll stride boldly over and say " What percentage chance does a pair of 8s have against AK suited" and she will be powerless to resist!

Can you keep a secret? Betfair"s omaha cash games are the softest on the internet. Don"t tell anyone, I don"t want this one getting out. ::)

Just pop that in the newsletter!

As mentioned before, I have a number of different poker sites downloaded on my computer. Their there for different reasons and I look upon them all in a slightly different way. During one of my many moments staring out of the office window at the Norwich Bypass, I started trying to compare how I felt about poker sites to members of the opposite sex. In case anyone I currently know, will know at any point in the future or anyone who works as a libel lawyer ever reads this, the following comments are made for comic effect only and do not in any way truly reflect my real thinking or anything I might ever have thought or actually done. Honest. Yeah, really!
My thoughts towards Full Tilt are much like being in the honeymoon period at the start of a relationship. You feel like you"re spending your time with the best you can get, you"re not sure what the future holds but today feels good.
Betfair is the reliable friend. The relationship is purely platonic, you know you"re never going to get excited but you go back to them on a regular basis because you know you"ll get plenty in return.
Pokerstars is the stunner who you"ve got absolutely no chance with. Looks great, seems to have plenty to offer and you"ve had plenty of cracks at it in the past, but ultimately you know you know you"re never going to have much of a return for your efforts.
Partypoker is the character of loose virtue you return to every now and again when you feel a bit naughty. You know it feels wrong, you know you"ll probably end up frustrated, but you"ve had some great fun in the past and you occasionally give it another go just in case you get a major result.
If I was to try and think of myself in similar terms, I would be the poker-playing equivalent of a cheap whore; will normally try anything if I think there"s an easy few quid in it. ("You want a good time guvnor?" You do, Ok what do you fancy?" "You want to what? Play Razz? Sorry, I don"t do funny stuff"
