11 reasons why online poker sucks

You want to hear some whine? Well you won't get some, this is just for you, the one who is fed up with online poker, but still thinks he can beat it and can't quit. In case you are like every other Poker addict loser who sometimes gets on a winning spree, like myself :) I am a gambler, and that's how I play poker nowadays, if I want a job I will find something more interesting. Oh and just to make this clear, gambling and throwing away money are two pair of shoes. Throwing away money is playing online poker, roulette or craps. Gambling is playing live poker, where you watch the tells, analyze the player and go for it before you win for sure on turn or river. That's gambling. You don't fuckin know if you win or not, it's luck. The 1 outer will hit and you will get pissed. Maybe not now, but every now and then. Learn to live with it.
  • you will lose money, you will always pay rake, you will always have bad run, you will win, you may play great, but overall online poker is... something one can do without.
  • you will win money and lose it later on, ending up losing more when you are emotionally unstable
  • you will neglect your social life
  • you will think you can quit your fucked up day job and think that poker is something better... it's not...
