Pokerstars – Raining Kids & Dogs
Despite spending plenty of time on a computer, you may have noticed that I update this blog inconsistently. Cough*everyfewmonths*cough. Where does all my time go? Well like countless other people, I’ve been known to spend some time playing online poker. And by ‘some’ I mean ‘hooked on’. But that hasn’t been a bad thing – after all I have won enough pretend money to live pretend comfortably on for several pretend years. I just need to figure out how to turn Pokerstars play money into cold hard cash. Does anyone know the current exchange rate between play money and the Canadian dollar?
Regardless of which table you end up playing at on Pokerstars, the odds are that someone will have a picture of a child or pet. Why are there pictures you ask? Well, it’s because Pokerstars allows each user to have a photo to make each person more ‘unique’. Unfortunately as mentioned before, many people feel some sort of need to put up pictures of their kids or pets. After all, when you’re playing poker online for hours on end and neglecting your loved ones, it’s nice to have a reminder of who you’re ignoring. Sometimes, if you’re really lucky, you’ll end up at a table with so many photos of animals and kids you might mistakenly think you’ve ended up at a petting zoo.
Normally I try to avoid letting my emotions get the better of me when playing (called ‘tilting’), but if I’m playing against someone with a photo of a particularly ugly child I do have to admit to wanting to beat them even more than normal. If you’re going to subject other people to look at your ugly child, then you should be prepared to face the (pretend) consequences.
If you play poker online and you're up against someone with a bad photo of a child or pet, and you want to beat them for me I'd appreciate it. Additionaly, if you want to tell them to 'take that, f***er' afterwards, it's entirely up to you.
