Image: He won with this Hand By Nolene
I love Texas Holdem Poker. Its not just about gambling you know; Its a game of potential; Any two cards in the right hand can be profitable..he who dares (sometimes) wins...she who procrasinates (often) loses...and, as in life, the more chips you've got at your disposal the more clout you carry.
Ive heard it said that poker takes 5 minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. The same could be said of photography..though as a recent graduate to SLR cameras I reckon it takes a lot longer than 5 minutes to learn how find your way around Fstops and Shutterspeeds.
Yes Poker is my 'sport of choice'....which leads me (somewhat improbably) on to the matter of recent Irish job losses and the complaint that: This job could be done just as well in Bangalore as in Belmullet and Bangalore is cheaper; That job would be safe if only cash strapped young people would continue to sell their souls to the banks for a mortgage on a 2 bed overpriced box apartment. Well 'She Who Knows A Bit About Everything' reckons we should consider alternative industries: She suggests re-inventing a corner of Ireland as the Las Vegas of Europe. Any small town with an airport nearby has potential. We'd all be Winners: construction, service and hospitality industries, transport and entertainment sectors too. And think of the potential tax bonanza.
Yep...Pokers definitely a game of Potential!!!
