[QUOTE="darthjewel, post: 6101516, member: 353611"]
For me an example of the American Dream is Phil Ivey.

Quoting his biography
- The poker story of Phil Ivey begins at the age of 17 when he was working at a telemarketing firm in New Jersey. 
It was at that time that he started to sneak regularly into card rooms in Atlantic City 
using a fake ID under a fake name of Jerome Graham to play poker. 
It wasn't easy for him, because in order to sneak and play in the card rooms 
he had to ride a bus for 2 hours to Atlantic City and then back home, with another drive to the bus. 
He did this each and every day for 2 years. -

So, he fulfilled his dreams by hard work and dedication.

And, that may belong to other thread, still,

at the beginning he was a bad player. He was loosing a lot.
Like many others he could blame the system - white privileges steal my money - 
but then he believed that 
the America is the land of the opportunity 
where everybody has the chance to success ,
he learned from his games 
and the results are known for everybody.

Good luck with freerolls.
