I'm a disabled Nam Vet.
For 2 years I watched tv, went to the bathroom and ate,
I was chair bound and just vegged out.
I finally saw a WPT championship on PS and they said'
Join and play for free. I've played since 1960, home
games and at the bar next door where I played Yuker.
While playing another player, who liked my attitude and play
asked me if I would like to join a Poker Club, Railbirds.com.
She explained it's a Drama Free community and after all the
swearing and just bad manners I saw in regular games, I gave
it a try, I received a lot of greetings when I arrived, and in 3 mo.
Joined the League of Lizzards from around 10 different clans who
often played against each other. Didn't take long and I made the
beginning of lasting friends in the community, many still 8 years later.
Poker, and a good poker community saved me and took me out of
the depression I was experiencing during the disability.
I'ts always been a hobby for me, playing 5 sites, around 10 hours
a day for cash. I never had a month that cost me more than $60 total.
Couldn't get that much intertainment anywhere for that price.
Turned a $.18 6 1/2 hr. freeroll into over $500.
Yea it's important for me to play and be of service to other players
to give what I got, back.
Now on CC, I hope to share through Reflectons and Quotes from my old days to show my appreciation for being here. I'ts all about community for me as well as poker.
Have a blessed day and enjoy the game and each other...Namaste...jim
