Saving your sanity in the online casino

This awful recession bites deeper and deeper and its claws never seem to open and ease the pain. Savings, pensions and sanity keep going out the window. People are forgetting what it’s like to relax and have a bit of fun as they see the results of their life’s work eroding and leaving them facing a bleak future. I was like that up to a month ago. My pension, which is linked to some financial index, began to drop. It was slow at first and then it gathered speed. Every month the pension check was less, causing me to cut back on some expense to compensate.

Then it became serious and last month there was little left to cut back on. One day, I decided to put an end to this slow erosion of my assets. I looked at my miserable pension check and put the entire amount into my deposit account at the online casino. I began to play, determined to enjoy what’s left of my money and stretch it over as many days as I can.  

I play “penny stakes” only, meaning penny a spin or penny a card. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose but an entire evening usually never costs me more than a couple of dollars and the entertainment is great. Is it my imagination or is it possible that the online casino understands my problem?

Last night I decided to play 3-card poker in the online casino. It was first for me. I started off by playing according to all the well-known poker strategies, but soon found out that 3-card is a different game. I developed my own very simple system. If I am not holding at least one picture card, I fold. If I have at least one picture card, I play on. Soon I racked up quite a nice pile of pennies and then I regretted that I was playing for such low stakes. I won a huge number of pennies.

Tomorrow I will play for pennies again. This is the only way I can afford to be inside an online casino in times like these. Perhaps I will win enough to play out the recession.
