Message: [QUOTE="OnyxPanther, post: 1538549, member: 70844"] I started playing with family every now and then until I was about 14. This play had taught me hand rankings and how to play various games. At age 14 or so I started skipping school and I would end up at home being bored until one day while skipping I decided to look for a card game to play on the internet and low and behold my search leads me to UltimateBet. From 14 to around 17 I played UB play chips and learned to love texas hold'em and even branch into omaha. During this play I learned the mechanics of betting and the power of postion and built the foundation for knowing odds in certain situations. I would like to add that I just recently learned how to count outs lol. By the time I turned 17 I thought I had mastered the game!!! I say this because I was playing the highest limit of play chips offered and had amassed over 7 accounts maxed out with play chips. I remember several times sitting at a UB playchip table with well over 20-25 million chips built from 200k but not sure exactly how many chips at the table because the table display maxxed at a little over 17million. UB playchip accounts capped at around 18mill as well so there were countless nights when I was done playing and had to dump chips back to the table. That is when I learned the true meaning of 'donk' and realized that at any given time any 2 cards could win a hand of poker. I had decided from my 'mastery' of holdem that when I turned 18 I would create a legit account and start playing the money added freerolls as I had no means of depositing and be a millionaire by 19. It didn't take long for me to realize that the only thing I had MASTERED was guessing table odds and being a chipbully with a crowd of super loose, or supertight non serious players because all the playchips in the world have the value of a paper penny when push comes to shove in the pot. **timeframe-19yrs old to 26yrs old: POKER CHANGES DRAMATICLY WITH ITS NEW FOUND MEDIUM AND AVAILABILITY ON THE INTERNET. I am 26 yrs old now and I am around $500 real in the hole over the course of 8 yrs off and on at 2-4 hours per session. That is if you only count deposits and not winnings lost. 6months ago I started playing again and deposited around 100-200real and lost it trying to jump from 10-20$ deposit to 5k$ cash before bed hahahaha. I have done this before but it was when I was an extremely loose player and the cards couldn't fail if you understand what I am saying ;) I have since decided that if I cannot win my way from 0$ by means of freerolls then I cannot win in cashgames much less excel and earn the crown jewel of poker [URL]http://www.bluffeurope.com/webmedia/images/274___Selected.jpg[/URL] So now I am refining and playing more often and more seriously in hopes that I will master the tournament format and be crowned among the greats someday. I just wanna say THANK YOU to all of the poker websites and those that are proactive in trying to get poker legislated and more secure. I wanna say thanx to CardsChat and other poker forums for providing a medium and more rewards for players and TY GOD.
