I find it difficult to imagine any social encounter that I would want to be in that didn't have at least some humour in it, but that's me and that's what gets me through the night. I was also born in the Year of the Monkey and they say that humour to the point of silliness and absurdity is a common trait among monkeys. But you mentioned that you find poker also to be fun so that lets you off the hook, as far as I'm concerned. As for baking cookies, well, eating them can be lots of fun. Folk-dancing? Well, I've tried it and got too distracted trying to remember all the steps, so I can't say that it works for me either. Have fun (but not too much...) A. Yeah that makes sense sort of.

It indeed can be intense, and is usually humourless. But so was karate at times. Karate did have exercise, physical co-ordination development and commaraderie within the club itself which poker does not have, but I've found some degree of commaraderie with other players that I know and others I communicate with on a forum. And, I enjoy it as a game, as a challenge, as small stakes gambling (and one where you can do something about coming out ahead as opposed to blackjack or bingo where ultimately the odds are against you), and as a yet-to-be-understood form of social interation. So for me, it is fun, unlike folk dancing or baking cookies. Hey Aaron.

Have you thought of taking up folk-dancing? Baking cookies? Something fun where no one really gives a flying f**k about winning or losing, or masculine image, or whateverkind of gender image? just wondering. Aaron Hey Glen:

I am the executive producer of Poker Room Radio, a show that airs on Clear Channel Radio in Sacramento and San Francisco. Our hosts try to impart useful information for newbies who have had little or no experience with "live" tournaments or "live action" play.
