Here is an excerpt from a letter that was sent to a poker site for a contest they ran to stake players:

Have been playing poker for over 35 years. My dad taught my brother and I stud and draw at the kitchen table, while giving us a lesson in gambling unbeknown to us. We were in Jr High, both with paper routes. We were able to win a few hands to have our eyes light up to "easy money". By the end of the evening my dad had collected funds from the route which was due the next day.

Didn't sleep at all that night, thinking about the payment due to the newspaper. In the morning my dad returned all the money with a short but sweet piece of advice about gambling. That lesson has been as strong now as it was that morning.
 
Have been playing Texas Hold'em online for 5 years now.  Ironically it was my two sons’s who brought me to this type of poker due to the television coverage. First few years were played with free chips at Party Poker. After playing an 8 hour tournament to place in first and a screen shot to show for it, then decided it was time to play for real money.
 
I have had moderate success, have read and studied most aspects of the game. I belong to few poker communities and actively participate on those sites. My goal would be to be able to play live in tournaments and to be profitable at playing poker.
