Texas Calculatem and Poker Office Blog

It's nearly the end of the month. I haven't put that many hours into Texas Calculatem or Poker Office, but I did worship in Vegas earlier on and have put in some solid limit play at Noble Poker over the last week.

However, taking stock of things, I think I might be destined for a scorching demise... The reason is that a Christian preacher friend said that I should do something to "help other people". However, this is what I have done this month...

- got back from my Las Vegas trip, where I gambled lots of money.
- bought a big TV.
- bought female pheromones for a mate so she can woo a rich person.
- invested $500 in Juice's Poker.
- bought a rape alarm for a mate who was going on a date, having met someone on that Trader Dater website (I introduced her to it).
- got free copies of Holdem Genius and Poker Office 2.

So to summarise, I have mostly spent my slush funds on trivial pursuits

The only person I've helped is Juice, but some would say that I've just encouraged him to gamble more. Whether or not that is a good thing is a moot point. I met Miss W for dinner last night and told her of Juice's good progress. Her reaction ranged from total disinterest to disapproval. She didn't seem to understand that I'm doing my best to help a friend support himself.

My bro has described my web enterprises as amoral. I'm not sure if I agree, personally believing that they're morally neutral. But having said that, if I'm totally honest I really have no interested whether or not any of them serve the greater good. As far as I'm aware I don't harm anyone, and the people who pay me are getting exactly what they're paying me for. I'm not a criminal, a lying politician, a cheating estate agent, or a salesman from a "sub prime" loan provider.

Is gambling a sin?
