Poker - So Many Ways to Play and Now So Many Places



"Poker - So Many Ways to Play and Now So Many Places!"," That was the advertisement for the famous 1975 Stephen Spielberg film Jaws and one could argue they are about to be a few more sharks at sea.
 The Ladbrokes cruise will set sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida stopping off at three different 'exotic' locations before returning to shore on the 29th of January.
 Entry to this festival of poker can be either bought or won.
 Also many other poker based events to keep all manner and level of poker player occupied for this eight day event.
 Putting the glitz and glam of this event to one side, one has to accept this event as yet another example of just how popular and accessible poker is.
 Given this event is now in its fourth year and with the backing of bookmakers Ladbrokes one can assume the previous events have been a success.


Sir Richard Branson is about to embark on the first commercial space flights with the birth of Virgin Galaxy.


Now is this another opportunity presenting itself to promote the great game of poker.


Is it possible that one day we could witness the first intergalactic poker tournament.
 I am sure though whichever entrepreneur chooses to follow this venture will have many issues to deal with.
 The game can quiet literally be played anywhere, how comfortable the settings in which the game is played is another issue.
 It wouldn't surprise me as being human we are very quick to dismiss most new forward thinking ideas, that may challenge the normal way of doing things.
 It is game which mirrors real life and business as it requires forward thinking, luck, chance and to an extent, innovation.
 This should be an inspiration to all budding entrepreneurs / poker players.
 However I do believe I know a good idea when I see one and I am happy to give that idea recognition when deserved.
 The only way to sail towards calmer shores is through our thinkers, opportunists and gamblers.


I therefore say to all those sailing on the Oasis of the Seas and taking part in the Ladbrokes Poker Cruise IV, 'May God Bless Her And All Who Sail On Her'.


MAKE YOUR DAY
