I'm an addicted gambler, there i said it happy now? no thought not.... thing is i have an addictive personality i guess so i just get sucked into the whirl and buzz of these things that go on around me. My main addiction is poker, what a surprise eh?

Poker is a game not only of luck but also skill, you need to know when to make the right calls, raises, re-raises and folds - to most of you this is probably all double dutch but bare with me. Poker players are always ''the best poker players in the world'' everyone has their own opinion on whether or not you played the hand right or should have played it differently...you know what? if i win the pot i don't care how i played it - and that's the truth and i think the same applies to most poker players - and if any of them say it don't then they are lying!!

Win or lose though i am addicted, i love observing and watching how people play hands, what type of hands they play and maybe little tells. Whatever it is about poker though it certainly has my backing for a hell of a lot of people all over the world. These websites take fortunes, the casino cardrooms and cardrooms on their own rake it in - so can these millions of people be wrong? I think like any addiction it is a hard habit to break!

So how do i go around this addiction?...well i play of course ;) i figured as long as i'm not hurting anyone or getting into debt to play then what is the harm? after all i have more chance of winning at poker then i do at playing against the house in casino's!

Being female also has it's advantages at the poker table - a few i'm sure i don't have to tell you! Poker being mainly a male dominated sport if you could call it a sport has the occassional wee lass such as myself. I feel that more women should learn how to play! I mean come on! it's only in out nature that we are naturally minipulative so hey ho you know where it's going...but come on ladies get playing because it really is nice seeing another girl at the table - i don't feel so outnumbered then!

win, lose or draw we all play for the same thing.....our love of the game - i guess old habits really do die hard
