Why God plays poker.

If you scroll to the bottom of this page you will see a photo of the sign at my local church announcing that I am the guest speaker for the next few sundays.The subject of my talks is "why God plays Texas Holdem"and is an attempt to show the values that can be learnt from playing the game.

My subject yesterday was that poker teaches both mental and physical discipline as in order to play well you need the mental discipline to understand the rules,assess the game as it is played and the patience to wait for the right hands to play even if they are few and far between and you also need the physical discipline not to let your manner betray the hand you are playing.

My talk with our local congregation went quite well yesterday,helped I think by the fact that our church is attended by many lovers of the game and so let's hope next sunday goes as well.

When I decided to start writing this blog I made a descision that it would not be full of banners and Google ads etc.as this is not an attempt to earn money but simply a place to air my views on life as I see it but you will notice that on the left side of this page there is just one advertisment for a site that provides free poker teaching and $150.00 completely free to start your poker playing career without risking your own money.This is where I learnt to play and whilst I don't claim to be a great player it was nice to learn the game and have access to lots of information without parting with any cash so if you are a keen to learn or an existing player who would like a little tuition and a free bankroll the feel free to click the ad and take a look.

Well that's about that for today,hopefully there will be something in tomorrows news for me to comment on and this blog will be back to normal.

Have a great and safe day,Lou Smorals.
