Because I had to take early retirement due to ill health, I did say to a couple of Friends that now I can call myself a Professional Poker Player, as that is all the excitement I can take in one day and keep the old ticker going, but they know I was only joking.
As you said earlier it is still frowned upon, by many in society because it is considered to be a form of gambling, but my answer to them is "It is only gambling if you don't know how to play" Playing Poker does not constitute gambling if you have never invested your own money into it, on-line has never cost me a penny, so everything I have in my accounts is Free Money! therefore it cannot be considered gambling.
Going to play in a weekly event at my local Pub, to me a night out with the boy's and it is still a damned sight cheaper than going to a Night Club, or even the Cinema, so where is the harm in that?
Fixed buy-in games, are the normal games I prefer to play, and I consider the buy-in as the price I am willing to pay for entrance into the game, just like some people will pay out £20+ to watch their local Football team play, and well over £60+ to watch a bigger Team play, where is the fun in that? They get no return on their money other than the privileged to watch 22 grown men chase a ball around for 90 minutes, I will stick to my Poker Games Thank's.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
