I admit I am not the best poker player. I never claimed to be even a good poker player. I am however willing to risk everything for what I believe is a winning hand. I don't play for real money any more even though I have played a few cash games in the past. Never online however. My one attempted to play for money online was shot down thanks to our greedy Government getting their hands into things.
Facebook has a number of Online Poker games from various poker companies or sites. For this post I'm staying only with WTP on FaceBook.
WTP Poker on FaceBook is likely one of the over all worse of all the poker games they offer. There are at least main complaints about WTP that many players have expressed over time, myself included.
The first complaint are the 75 play money gifts that your friends can send you. If you are lucky you might be able to collect one maybe two of them. The rest seem to never appear in your WTP inbox yet they do appear on your list under Game Request.
When I first started playing WTP on Facebook we used to be able to collect all the 75 play money gift your friend gave you. Also you could find hidden chips worth 5000 play money on tables in the lower right hand corner. That help those of us that have gone broke to possibly keep playing. Now we can only depend on the daily lottery spin.
This brings us to the second complaint which are the lottery spins. If ever there was a joke WTP has one of the biggest going. Most everyone I have spoken too rarely ever get more then 1000 per day. Even at the maximum multiplier of 5 that is only 5000. Many, if not most of the other poker games on FaceBook give you a whole lot more then 5000 daily. Earlier today one person I know got over 60 million play money lottery on a different poker game but his last 15 spins on WTP was no more then 1000 (plus the multiplier when applicable).
Finally the last complaint about WTP and we'll add just about all other games, including Facebook itself. Customer support is a waste of time. Chances are they will make excuses but won't address the problem directly. A large number of people have complained about the lack of response from Support and when there is a response it mostly comes across as a smoke screen.
Sadly, in America today customer support and personal service is taking a back seat in many businesses. This is a tread that has very easily been adapted to many areas of internet websites. Some could say that the lack of concern about the customer is larger a classic example of how big business chooses to operate (They need our business so we are going to ignore them mentality).

Perplexing Perplexity
I'm not a genius but I'm not stupid. There are things I know well, things I know some what and things I think I know. There are also things I believe I know better then other people but have my doubts about so I keep my mouth shut when ask concerning those things.
There are also things I don't know much about and things I don't know at all. In this is also other subclasses of things - things I don't know and don't care about, things I don't know now but knew at one point, etc.
I can't say at all that I know everything about any one thing but I will claim I know a lot about most everything. Many times I find that the things I don't know anything about are the things I can give the best advice about and people seem to think I know what I'm talking about.
One example of this would be building a garage. I haven't a clue about construction but I know what looks right and what doesn't. I also have a keen sense of what would work better to get things done easier which is why when my landlord was building the garage he listened to me and seemed to follow my lead, in spite of the fact he has/had more knowledge about construction then I do.
Blogging is something I haven't figured out yet either. What is the point of blogging anyway? We put on the screen for the whole world to see (yes I know I can make things private but whats the point of that anyways?) and maybe if you are lucky or have built up a following, which I haven't, you will get comments regularly about what you post. The key question however is why? Why bother with blogging?
So far blogging has, as far as I'm concerned, managed only to take time I could be doing something else and enjoying more. Yet I have found that I have been blogging more and playing less (well not this week based on the amount of activity I've had on Facebook).
Facebook is something else I don't understand. If it wasn't for the apps they have there I wouldn't even bother maintaining an account there. I don't "blog" on Facebook and I don't post pictures there. I only play games. Once in a while I'll respond to someone else in their post.
Maybe one day I will be less perplexed by the perplexity of things and learn to understand more. For now I will continue to go thru life wondering how I ever got involved with all this goofiness in the first place.

Facebook and other Internet Demons
Like so many others I have become addicted to Facebook. I never planned on ever using Facebook and had no intentions of ever making it one of the first places I go everyday but I have.
I used to visit Pogo.com regularly and even paid for the Club Pogo membership for years. Once that price reached $40 a year I started wondering if it was still worth the cost. The games are fun and many people I've met that are pretty cool to hang out with while playing games. I like the chat box most of all because it meant I didn't feel I was alone online.
Facebook seems to have a chat box but its has limits and understandably so since Facebook is about friends on your list. Facebook is for the most part not 100% a "social networking site". Facebook is actually much more then that.
Most people using Facebook will post on the Walls various comments, thought and other things daily but a great deal of time is spent playing many of the games there. Farmville, Frontierville, and Cityville are three of the popular ones. I'm sure I've left out some that are even more popular.
I can't say I completely like Facebook and I won't go as far as saying I've fallen in love with it but I do go there daily. Most of the time you can find me playing poker or working on one of the games mentioned above.
I've admitted to being or growing addicted to Facebook but I have to wonder what is the actual appeal to Facebook over other sites both past and present? There are Forums, blogs and game sites that have some better features then Facebook just not as many in one place. There have been many sites over the years that tried to do what Facebook seems to have created a niche for. But why are we so addicted to Facebook?
Maybe the better question would be to ask why have we all become so addicted to the Internet? That is a question I will save for my next post, right now my pigs, cow, ox and other animals need fed and my land needs re-cleared on the Frontier. Have game with travel.
