Anyone can learn poker rules quickly enough, online access and interface are easy, and there really is no reason not to try. Online poker is vastly successful. There isn't a gambling site online which does not offer poker games. A dedicated player becomes part of a community, acquires friends, and perhaps even his livelihood.
All or most poker game varieties are available for download for free. They offer safe practice for the novice. You get to try your hand against p.c. opponents and may adjust difficulty so as to easily experience successive winning, feeling the pleasure of addiction spread through your system like a shot of good liquor.
You are seated cozily in front of your computer to play all online games. There's no reason to worry about your body language or trying to read the faces and gestures of your opponents, each with his or her make-up, ticks, and poker-face tricks. Despite this fact, although extremely fun, perfecting your strategy against software is not comparable to live action, it's rather like doing your best at tennis against a wall or shooting up cardboard targets. Technically, there is not much comparison between a poker game and a gun fight, and unless you are in a Robert Rodriguez movie you can depend on a professional not having a sawed off shotgun pointed at you from across the table. But since both gun fights and poker for real money (as opposed to virtual) involve a constant sense of danger the parallel is warranted.
This is what makes games against human opponents so much fun, powerful addiction develops from this kind of fun. When Spider Solitaire is the most dangerous thing handled by someone they may wonder if poker is anything more than a game of patience. Besides skill it is important to realize that chance is the essence of the game. So without the possibility to reset only having the possibility to fold is pervaded by danger.
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.
Danger is delicious to the real player, that is why he sits at the computer or table. The player does not indulge in vain fantasies, he knows what is practically within his power. The player knows his stuff and bluff. Just as sheer height is what the rock climber is there for, he or she is there for the chance. In the game the music of chance must be heard, then an unlucky session will have been worth the effort.
