Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6850310, member: 430261"] I didn't find Texas Hold-em until I was in my Forties, Being a self employed Taxi Driver, I worked late into the early Mornings and by chance came across "Late Night Poker" on TV. One night. Being an Avid card player it Interested me but I thought I would never be able to play myself as I worked most nights while others were playing Card games in Pubs etc. When I saw an advert during the show, saying I could play on-line 24/7 on PokerStars, and play for Free! I of course thought there has to be a catch, I believed no one would give away Free Money, But of course they did and the rest is now History. I still play, and as far as I am concerned I am still playing for free, because I use the Money I won in Freerolls to buy-into games, I never have made a deposit, and because they do not have any records of my Bank details I cannot withdraw any winnings from them. I really do not need the Money, I have plenty of my own, but what has happened is playing on-line gave me an urge to play Live games in Pubs and Casinos and it also gave me an edge over other players, because of the practice, playing on-line, I don't pretend to be a great player, but better than average and can do well in most games I choose to play Live. The most important thing is to stick to a Good Bankroll Strategy, Play when you are comfortable losing the Buy-in, and play for Fun. There is no Fun in losing Money! But playing with money you can afford to lose is not that bad and as long as you can control that, it becomes more fun just being part of this wonderful game. I am now 68, I still play occasionally, and still have Fun doing it! It keeps the old Grey matter working and if Like Doyle Brunson, who played right up to the Day he died, I will die a happy man.
