I started playing poker on the internet about six months ago and I must say I absolutely love it.
I had had no real interest in poker until I watched it at a friends house on satellite TV. The tournament was the World Series of Poker and my friend who was a huge fan of poker was explaining the rules as I was watching.
Over the next few months I continued to watch the poker on TV and became more and more interested.
I thought, I could do that and organised a game with a few friends. It was a good evening, even though I ended up losing some money, maybe its not as easy as it looks, I thought to myself.
One day I was discussing my new found interest with a colleague at work. He confirmed that it was also an interest of his and stated that he played poker online.
He described the bonuses involved and the fact you are able to interact with the other players via a chat box, very similar to that of a chatroom.
I decided to check it out for myself and started playing at sporting odds. I now play virtually every day and find it very relaxing.
For me the best thing about online poker is the fact that you can play so many more hands per hour than you can in the house or at a casino.
