Free Gambling Sucks

Gambling appeals to me.  To be more specific, I enjoy playing poker.  I have successfully fooled myself into thinking I am good at the game.  If I take a pause and really consider my talents at it, I'm mediocre to terrible.  But that's irrelevant because it's fun to be on the digital green felt shooting bets off like the late Stu Ungar.  I give the computer my blank poker face, letting pokerhottie_69 cower in fear.  She bets.  I raise.  She comes over the top.  I come over the top again.  If this was anything but free online poker, we'd be naked or bleeding at this point. 

I lose.  But it didn't matter because I was playing with fake money.  Let me put it this way...I felt more like the Cincinnati Bengals than the Detroit Lions.  I'm not a complete loser, but still a loser.  Even if I won those magical online poker chips, I still wouldn't have won.  So, it's similar to tying.  That's another area of common ground I share with the Bengals.  We both tied this year.  

I feel like I walked onto a plane, missed the seat next to the screaming baby, and plopped down in between these two.  That's kinda a tie right.  

It isn't.  I'm still a loser.  Well.

Well.  I.  What's the point?  Good riddance.  

P.S.  The Eagles spell imminent doom for the Browns of Cleveland.
