PokerStars, why hast thou forsaken me???

So I have this image of myself as a pretty decent poker player. I usually did ok in my recreation league. Well I made it to the big table once. And I usually do pretty good in Vegas, although the last few times have been a bit rough. I can even guess who is probably going to win on any given broadcast of WPT after they show the odds of each hand (that's World Poker Tour for those who are not in the know). I even have my own poker table and chips - complete with lockable metal case in the off chance that someone breaks in and wants to try and fool the casinos in Vegas.

I thought I would get back into the PokerStars.net action and give it a go. Poker it would seem, actually takes a bit of skill and a whole lot of luck. Both of which I was sorely lacking tonight when I went 0 - 25 hands! Of course I did have a couple of pretty decent hands like a queen high flush which lost to a king high flush, or the straight that also lost to the flush, and even the aces and eights combo that of course lost to the three of a kind fours.

I wonder if the uninstall will go as quickly as the install did.

  • If having your own poker chips made you a good player, I'd be an ace on the golf course with my sweet clubs.
