[b]The Good Aspects[/b]

There are several things I like about this game.

First and foremost, it's a game you can spend a life time playing and never stop learning. It has been said that playing the players is just as important, if not more important, than playing the cards. And another saying goes: once you think you know it all, that's when everyone else passes you up.

It's okay to lie. That is soo cool. One can dispense with the scruples of truth and honesty and actually be respected for it. It's a mindset I seldom experience in the world away from poker, being the honest gent I am. And yes, I've been cussed out a few times at the poker tables, mostly in brick and mortar casinos and maybe a few times online, but that's cool too.

The game is not based purely on luck. Don't get me wrong. Luck is good. But once I learned the other aspects of the game, skill and management, is when my bankrolls started growing. Management probably had more to do with that than skill. And regarding luck I'll quote one of my favorite authors, Steinbeck: If we lived long enough we would all have the same amount of luck. We just don't live long enough.

It's true, we can't always win. And it would probably get boring if we did.
