I had two unpleasant poker experiences yesterday. I lost all my free money ($10 - no deposit required), plus about $12 in winnings, at Crazy Poker, and I placed somewhere around 2500 out of 9000 entrants in a freeroll tournament at Poker Stars. Perhaps I can attribute both of these performances to Gambler’s Ruin. Thanks QuietStorm for this possible explanation.
Since I believe I’ve tried all the poker rooms that give free money with no deposit, I’ve decided to take the Quaker approach to poker and stop playing, at least for a little while. This will no doubt make my wife happy, as she is both a Quaker and someone who thinks that I may have a problem with my constant poker playing.
Trying to please my wife is a good reason to stop playing poker, at least for a little while. However, when I think about the Quaker reasons for not playing poker, or more specifically the Quaker reasons that my wife has given, I don’t immediately see any clear-cut justification for such an action.
