What is it about poker that has absolutely devoured the attention of the world, the rich, the poor, the hopeful, the intelligent, the moronic, the silly and the rest?

I must be honest, i am none and all of the above cause i am hooked. I am addicted. Not to gambling as some might label poker. Poker is not gambling. Or at least i dont think it is. Poker is about playing the cards, pitting them against the other possible hands and the choosing your odds, choosing your wins and letting your losses go. Yes there is an air of gambling about poker. there is money, there are cards and people lose.

Then so is life a gamble isnt it? No, this is not the part of the cliched tail where i equate poker to my sob story of a life. I swear my life is not half as interesting as a game of poker!!

I am simply writing this post to let everyone know that I am hopelessly addicted to the thrill of playing a hand of Texas holdem, and winning.

The All Africa poker tournament has drawn my attention. I cant afford to play but definately entered to win a seat. I didnt. Oh well, next year!!
