Poker Time > Fantasy Time?

All seven of you that have followed this blog for more than a few months know I was a serious poker player - well, at least serious by putting time in at the felt. I was never bankrolled for anything above $2/4 and that was pre-UIGEA.

I started dabbling in daily fantasy in May 2007 and signed up for FSL in October 2007. Since then I've put in almost a full year of solid "fantasy time". (There were a couple of 1+ month breaks.)

During that period, I played both at the same time. I quickly learned that fantasy takes way less time than poker. And seeing how I was winning consistently, way less aggravation due to lack of downswings. Way.

I do enjoy playing poker, but I have become disenchanted with the online version. There is rampant cheating (overt and covert), technology issues (such as data mining) and the general inconvenience of cashing out.

In other words, I am beginning to see the light of post-UIGEA online gaming. Fantasy is 100% legal "skill" gaming, (paypal gladly accepted) and it takes less of my time.

I will still play live poker from time to time, but it's been a comforting break from the "boom headshot" crap.
