online poker and then some.



i just celebrated the last wee hours of my first two months with PODD, about two hours ago (2:17AM, my time). or is it three? two is more like it. PODD is a outsourcing web design company. we're in the thick of designing several online poker gaming sites for quite a few big poker networks abroad. it's interesting really, because i've always been curious about poker.

i've seen it in a lot of american films, among others and have seen several episodes of celebrity poker and world series of poker, and other poker tournaments on solar sports channel. while it is a gambling game, a perception of it as a sporting game is steadily growing ---- in my opinion, this aspect of it being a gambling won't ever change, even years from now. but then again, even billiards had risen from being a bar game where hustlers elbowed each other for room, to an international sport, where filipinos are collectively known for their skill and mastery of the game. albeit being a gambler's game, poker does have the potential for becoming a really big sporting event. maybe even as legit as chess, if i may be allowed to say so.

(apart from these websites that PODD works on, our other clients are as varied in nature as there are poker hands, from
poetry to software dev --- but that's for another blog article.)
