Now I'm picturing a group of dudes singing that song wearing matching Snuggies... yup, that is the gayest poker game in America.

For the record, I do not participate in the silly songs. (In contrast with Deadman, who participates joyfully and tone-deaf-ly.)

Pokerstars is so ridiculously rigged and frustrating. In tournament NLH twice I have had my full-house busted by four of a kind and once my four of a kind was beaten by a straight flush. All the sticking Germans will stay in for any piece of crap. It makes me want to pull my hair out. I think I am going to go play right now, maybe I can show 'em who's boss this time!

Sounds like it hasn't reached intervention stage - yet - but I still frowningly discourage it, if only because many of us here miss your writing and dagbuzzing. I also doubt that online poker is an effective way to recover your muse. Perhaps you should take up reading instead.

zing!

we always say we're the gayest poker game in american ... though in the words of the immortal George Costanza, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Are you the psychoanalyzer or the psychoanalyzee in this scenario?

Uh, psychoanalyzer. But then, seeing as you're one of the chorus boys, I shouldn't be suprised that it wasn't obvious to you.

i appreciate it G. I will

In reply to Oh no. This is not good. Not

i appreciate it G. I will admit that despite the fact I'm winning so far, there is very little healthy or productive about online poker. And I fully realize the danger that exists, and that an intervention may at some point become necessary. For now, I'm keeping the demons at bay and I've been able to function fully at work, with friends and my other obligations. I only play for a couple of hours late at night (if I play more it's because I've lasted deep in a tournament), and a bit on the weekend.

Sadly, it's true that the writing has taken a hit because most of my prime blogging time came at night after Mrs. Deadman went to bed. however, it's a little bit of a chicken and an egg thing, too, because one of the reasons I joined Pokerstars was I found myself lacking a bit of a Muse.

I will do my best to fulfill all of my intense and wildly varying urges, including the need to produce with the pen.
