Pleasure (part one): lounging in the Lounge

Pleasure after business then.

OK, sometimes before business.

Alright alright, sometimes in the middle of business. In the case of Punter's Lounge poker forum.

I've been wondering what I did before, in the time I spend on the forum. Watch more TV I suppose, so that's no bad thing then. Perhaps housework? No, didn't do that before either. I do remember I used to play some of the games on yahoo. Stupid and pointless, yes, so that's good too then.

Chronologically, poker came before the forum; but the poker that came before is like poker; and the poker that came after is like poker; so it's only right and proper that I talk about the forum first.

Most people lurk a little first before joining. (I did.) I then fretted over what my first post would be because I wanted to impress these knowledgeable people. It was weeks before I dared to start a thread. Now you can't shut me up on there. And after only 6 months, I am one of the knowledgeable people. HAHA. (But I am a wimp.) (And I'm not particularly knowledgeable - except in spelling and punctuation - but my poker has definitely improved.)

So don't be afraid of diving straight in. If you have even the slightest interest in poker you must visit. Whatever your level of knowledge, you will learn more. Say hello and you'll be welcomed as one of the family. Contribute and you can take part in the leagues and live meet-ups. Enjoy the friendly banter at the tables. Wear the t-shirt. Get slated for calling someone's AA all-in with 86 and hitting two pair. (oops, no, not that one). Enjoy the friendly banter after the game.

Just don't ask for a password to a freeroll.

Fancy a look? Just click on the Punters Lounge Betting Forum link (hmm, seems to be some disagreement over whether to use an apostrophe - punters, punter's or even punters'?) and go find the Poker Forum. Go on, you know you want to.

And while you're there, have a look at the rest of the site.

But only if you've no housework to do.

Shall I call back later then?
