Poker isn't "Gambling"

I'd just like to take the time to mention this fact to everyone. While a lot of you know I play poker online for real $$$, I just want you all to know that it's not as bad as some of you might perceive it to be.

The variation of poker that I play (for those that don't know) is "No Limit Texas Hold-em". The game is described in fairly good detail here: www.texasholdem-poker.com

It is a game where there is a lot of number crounching and stratagizing involved, as well as knowing your opponents method of play. It's not like say 5 card draw poker which most ppl are familiar with - that game has more luck and bluffing involved.

I now consider myself a seasoned player online. I currently play online at www.ultimatebet.com and started there in January 2004 with a simple $25USD deposit. To date it has grown and grown and my earnings today sit at 12 dollars short of $2,000USD. Yup! I'm doing ok. I encourage other poker players to give it a try if they feel comfortable with it. There are lots of small limit tables and fun tournaments to play in. If you do decide to join a poker site, and choose Ultimatebet.com then use my poker account name "Drifting" as a referral and you and I are susceptible to a bonus on your deposit.

So that's my little schpeil. I realize some of your concerns with online gaming and things of this nature, but I did my research before getting into it and so far it has paid of quite nicely.

Until next time!
