It is really ironic that this whole internet poker thing went down now. When I first started playing poker 5+ years ago telling people that you played poker usually got you a look something like if you said "I smoke crack on a daily basis." I remeber the look of terror on my ex's face 2.5 years again when I told her that I was going to quit my side job to play poker while I went to school. I remeber talking to Kenny and laughing about experiances with meeting new woman and how fast they would run away as soon as you told them about poker for a living. Today things are much different, when I tell people about poker almost everyone seems to think its cool even my mom and Grandma like it. Everyone is either playing or knows someone who does when I tell people they all want to know whats its like instead of looking at me like a degenerate. It is really ironic that the government has decided to outlaw poker after it has made the transition from being looked at as bunch of gambling addicts to social acceptable.
