Microstakes Poker and the Economy

Filed under: Funy Center, Gambling Capers, Hall Of Games — admin @ 4:04 pm

Microstakes online poker has experienced a bit of a boom in the last couple of months. Whether you are for or against the concept of tiny stakes, the fact is that everyone is talking about microstakes these days. I would like to suggest that one of the main reasons that microstakes have gone major is our current economic crisis. The constant doom and gloom on the television can get to be a bit much these days. If you are like me, you crave the blissful freedom of a online poker game. The calm reflective moments, free from worries about interest rates or taxable income. The problem with using poker as an escape from an economic reality is that the economic crisis inevitably finds itself into your bankroll. With less to spend, but more reasons to play it is easy to see why everyone seems to be discovering microstakes. Microstakes give you that guilt free indulgence that you can’t get at the real casino onlinetables. It is hard to feel bad about your spending habits when you spend less than $5 for an entire game of poker fun. Microstakes are the one little area of the casino that our current economic crisis has left untouched.
