Many, many of us are at interBet Casinos now, although I have seen many in GameStorm and hear that several are in The Zone. And even they stop into interBet to touch base with the granddaddy of them all, the veterans of AOL poker.

One thing that all interBet players can relate to is that little fellow up there, the Leprechaun! There is a very popular (and expensive with $25 coins) Slot game called Pot Luck. It's very simple ... you get 5 Leps, you win $1,000,000. Those tables were PACKED for months on 10 floors. It was not often that they hit, but the fame of having hit 5 Leps was worth it! And a peculiar playoff contest that came to be was the Slot War. When the call was made by a Pitboss for a Slot War, players left all other games and tables and raced over to grab a seat. That contest generated an awful lot of richness ... and poverty, LOL.

There are many millionaires in interBet now .... here are the ways they do it. You can accidentally hit a lucky seat in any of the games, play a card or pull a handle, and get a Jackpot. You can play a new Slots game called Munchies, where you are guaranteed a win in about 2.5 hours by getting 50,000 points ... you can play this game again and again, and some people do. The JPs are randomly set, so you could get $16,000 or $942,000, depending on when your JP hits. The strategy to this is to not pull the handle for the last time until some innocent newcomer has pulled off the tiny JP and a new, large JP comes up. And here's the biggest way to become a millionaire, which has been done since the free games began online. You take a conspirator to a 7-Card Stud table. They raise and raise and raise throughout the hand with you, driving up the pot. At the last card, they fold and you win maybe $1,000 a hand. The conspirator keeps going to the Loan Office, in interBet it is called "Harold", to refresh their bankroll. The name that this conspirator plays under is heavily in debt ... but who cares??? The Pitbosses in interBet try to bust these 2-player scams up, but it is a never-ending battle, LOL. By the way, we know who these people are, and we despise them for cheating!

There are different kinds of love. The boy-girl kind happened to me in another game room less than a year ago, although it seems like years. I can't remember time before him. There are so many milestones in my life I wish he had shared. We try to catch up on all of them and bring each other into the big moments in our lives. Fortunately, that will take a very long time.

He is my best friend. We correspond as much as is humanly possible, sometimes taking large risks, many times not being able to "be there" with each other or for each other at big moments, but sharing them as soon as we can. We think we love each other, but we can't be absolutely sure just yet.

When someone wakes the sleeping beauty in you, male or female, that is a very attractive thing. All of a sudden, there is beauty everywhere. You start reading poetry, for crying out loud! Landscape is beautiful ... children are gorgeous ... skin is luscious ... showers are luxurious ... new lingerie ... creativity awakens ... inspiration abounds. What is this called? We call it love. I will keep you posted.

My beloved sister was such a loser in these game rooms, I felt sorry for her ... even though she was the one who got me into AOL for the express purpose of playing Poker, particularly Texas Holdem. Oh, she worked on me for weeks to get me in there.

So finally, there I am, finding my way around, figuring how to play the games, learning who the players were and how they bet. And most importantly amassing a nice little purse! Meanwhile, I am making fabulous acquaintances, preferring the upbeat and chatty people. I was too unfamiliar to venture out of Texas, so I very happily stayed there with the same people.

Once in awhile, my sister would stop in, each time with no money! She started playing before me and here I was with 10s of thousands and she never had more than $2,500. Finally, I asked her why she never seemed to make money. It was easy enough to do ... just don't bet foolishly and never raise on two pairs, except maybe at the very end. She answered that she liked to play "raise/fold" games. Oh, how we hated those players, LOL, playing that mindless raise-raise-raise game. Some people made money that way, like ICEMAN4110, but it was very rare. Most of them were always hitting the ATM for another $500.

Then one day, out of utter pity, I took my sister into an empty room to give her money. We played about 20 games where we would raise and raise all the way around, making sure the shills were out of it, and then I would fold. I gave her a few thousand, because we had to stop from laughing so hard.

Guess what? A couple hours later we ran into each other and she had .... no money! She had gone in r/f games and proceeded to lose it all. Now what do you think of that???
