You can play all online games cozily in front of your computer. Reading the faces of ten human opponents or worrying about keeping your body language to a minimum are some of the things you don’t have to worry about. Just like doing your best at tennis against a wall or shooting up cardboard targets, the mild fun of perfecting your strategy against software is not really comparable to liver action. Technically, there may not be much similarity between a gun fight and a game of poker, and you can depend on a professional not having a sawed off shotgun pointed at you from the other end of a table, unless you are in a Robert Rodriguez movie. They do both involve a constant sense of danger whether it be a gunfight or poker with real money at stake.

For this reason the games against human opponents are not merely fun, but eerily fun. It is this kind of fun that makes addiction of the most powerful kind. Someone may wonder whether poker is anything more than a game of patience, these people may have never handled anything more dangerous than a game of Spider Solitaire. Besides skill, chance or luck it is important that this is the essence of the game. Pervaded by danger is a live poker session without the possibility to reset only to Fold.

Many people are turned off by precisely this. While betting on the value of their hands make some people feel irresistibly “alive”. The money, time, and energy to spend are musts but these are controllable factors. You must be willing to make the effort to learn strategy. A player who doesn’t will lose and grow tired of trying if he only approaches the game simply in the crude hope for a few quick wins. Sour is the taste of danger and one wishes to rinse it out as fast as possible.

To the real player danger is delicious. That’s why he is at the table/computer. The player knows his stuff and his bluff, knows what is practically within his power, and does not indulge vain fantasies. He or she is there for the chance just as the rock climber is there for the sheer height. One must learn to hear the music of chance in the game; then, even an unlucky session will have been worth the effort.
