What an interesting thing Poker is. I never really knew how to play it, and for some reason, a few months ago I decided I should learn how that stupid game works.

Apparently, after learning the basics, I found myself spending the next 8 hours trying to play, for virtual money. Sadly, I don't live close to anyone willing to really play with me, on a real table, so I have to play online.

However, that doesn't seem to affect my happiness when I win, and oh man, the ego boost that you get when you win, is exactly as you describe it in your post.

One hand you're not sure what to do, and the next hand you're winning, imagining yourself as being a really good player, about to win millions of dollars from that game.

It's a very interesting experience, and I recommend learning Poker to a lot of people. It's not only fun, but it became kind of a "Skill" you should know, whenever you're with a bunch of people and you want to have a little bit of fun.

I do advice not playing for money, at least not if you don't really know the game and if you can't handle the loss, but besides that - Poker is awesome.

Great post, upvoted it and good luck with your future games :)
