As the title says, I'm going to be brienf in this blog. I can't realy spell either so you will all need to bair with me. I realy enjoy wiriting my blog, and I havn't done one in a while so I thought I'd randomly jot down some quick thoughts about life.

Poker is a card game, and online poker consists of sitting in front of a computer screen, on your own for hours on end. To me this sounds like a very dyer existance. However the similarities between life and poker, to me, will never be in doubt. To live a life where you arn't totaly in control of your own fate, and are continuely trying to prove yourself to others, also sounds like a dyer existance.

When I sit down at a poker table, I am filled with a great pride. My opponent don't know who I am, and I don't know my opponents, all we have is an avatar, a vpip, some other stats and a chip stack, nothing personal. I am a looser in life, and a looser at poker. Can you see the pattern? I am lazy, obsessive, depressive and emotionally unstable, which as you can all guess, is a terrible starting point for playing poker.

Poker will pull me through my personal problems, like a friend would. A friend who won't judge, won't critisize, will never leave you, and will always be there to go back to when you decide you've had enough. So who am I to give it up.

I have the talent, I have the mind, the brain, and the desire. Poker will teach me how to care again, how to strive for success and glory, and it will make me myself again.

My name is Mark McGovern, and I have so much more to offer the poker community than I am curretly showing.
