Poker--just a sick thought

I think I have it figured out. Maybe poker is a game that was created by sadists to be played by masochists. Where else can we have such fun wallowing in our misery?? Just a thought. Is it that only those who can stand the most pain can actually survive?? Not many people want to talk about that great hand or session that went their way. That could be interpreted as hubris, or bring the wrath of the poker gods, or worse (if there be such a thing). But everyone has a story or a memory that still stings with the thought or the retelling. No one else really wants to hear it, because they have their own. But, even the winners remember the pain of losing. Like my dear old dad used to say, it's kinda like gettin phucked without a kiss. Here's hopin you find a few kisses out there!!

Thanks for stoppin by, ya'll come back now, you hear.

Poker can be quite evil to your bankroll at times and quite generous at other times.

It's true even when you are on a roll winning, you can remember the bad beats of yesterday.

Here's how Poker is like Golf; you can suck all day but if you hit that one magic play right before you quit and you'll remember it as a good day.

Here's how Poker is not like Golf; your account balance tells you the real truth.

Actually Bay.....

Here's how poker is REALLY like golf.

You are 100% in control of what happens every step of the way in both. But the actual results may vary repeatedly, in spite of that fact.
