A blog about poker and all other cruelties in this world

I decided to write a blog about one of my hobbies: poker. I can say it’s the most important side issue in the world. But I’m also a (graduated) student in international politics and as such I realize that poker alone doesn’t make the world go round. So besides the cruel things that happen to me on the poker table, I will treat some subjects concerning injustice from the entire world.

Because I’ve noticed during the past years that the average poker player you’ll face in a quality live game has a large world view and is able to deliver interesting insights concerning what goes on in the world today. That’s what I like so much about poker, it’s not only a pleasant strategic game, it’s a complete social happening where people gather and interact with eachother. Politicians who want to forbid this game truly underestimate the social value of this phenomenon. Sure, let’s send all those poker players to their homes, so they can sit in front of their TV and believe what’s served by the media.

So with this blog I provide a platform where me (and you, comments are always welcome) can discuss all cruel things when we are just playing online. But don’t be afraid, I’ll also post some pleasant things now and then of course, for example about my other interests like sports, movies and music. Because a poker player is more than just a poker player.
