my pokerface

May 2, 2008

Bluff. It’s this game using a whole deck of playing cards (minus the two jokers). It’s actually more like poker with some differences. I’m not sure if it’s the same with the Bluff you already know but this perhaps is a version of it.

It’s a game where the phrase “the more, the merrier” is very applicable. I really am after the fun of it. I don’t exactly know why gambling and playing cards has its effect to people. Perhaps it’s the idea of getting to win and lose money in just a few seconds in playing the game. You win some, you lose some. Every decision is based on luck and a few tricks.

Maybe gambling and playing cards isn’t that far from real life. Actually, it’s really more like real life. You’ll never know what’s coming. All you have to do is to play the game and accept the consequences. Of course, I’m not saying you have to gamble and risk everything but in life it’s more or less like that.

I’m not really a gambling guy. I’ve been on a casino to see people bet on numbers and colors hanging on to dear old luck. There’s a lot of casinos even in the net. It’s best to read reviews to see how the different casinos are like. Try to be picky and choosy sometimes, you know. Read the rest of this entry »

online billiards

March 14, 2008

There’s nothing like a good game of billiards with your best friends in the summer. I remember the good old days when some of my high school buddies and I would gather after the finals in the local pool bar and spend the whole afternoon celebrating the end of the school year with a hearty game of billiards and junk food. I wasn’t that good. It wasn’t a contest after all.

After high school some decided to study abroad, some in to other cities and only few remained. But thanks to online billiards, we were able to stay in touch and play billiards. In this online billiard site, we were able to interact with other people from around the world!

We can actually play 8 ball, 9 ball and snooker online. It’s actually fun. The online pool has daily tournaments held for all to participate at. You can actually play pool with a mouse rather than a cue. So you definitely got no excuse not to play.

big slots

March 10, 2008

Just now me and my friends here in UP were playing a friendly game of Bluff with the usual playing cards. That, I guess, is the only card game I really am good at. That’s because it requires the player’s talent in bluffing which is a talent I’m actually good at.

Poker? I’m a little so-so. I’m good at bluffing but when it comes to the luck in cards, I couldn’t control it. The twist of fate plays along within the game. Then again that’s what makes the game so exciting, don’t you think?

Let’s set aside the cards. I’m interested to the slots online this time. But since it is accessible from my place and I really have no intention in getting inside a casino, I decided to browse the net for slots online sites to feed my curiosity towards the game.

Don’t take me wrong, I’m not exactly that inclined to gambling. The last time I ever gambled was when I was in the fourth grade. I was betting on a spider battle.

So I stumbled on a site about slots online and I found out that there were actually a lot of sites devoted for the online slot games. The site has easy-to-read and user-friendly reviews to the top slot and other related sites. They have rated the sites and has allowed the users to rate them, too. The site about slots online seems to be the ideal place to check on before trying on the game online.

Though I may not be in it for the gambling, I’m definitely in it for the love of the game.
