[QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6036033, member: 430261"] Living here in the UK, we had a late night TV show back in 2000 called Late Night Poker and I had played quite a bit of Stud and 5 Card Draw, but never heard of Texas Hold-em until then. The show had a regular cast of players with a few visiting players but the regulars included Dave Devilfish Ulliot, Dave Colcough, and the Boatmen brothers Ross and Barney. Ross was also an Actor in another TV series called London's Burning, which was very popular here in the UK. Saying that the show was quite popular and it sparked my interest, because I have always loved card games, Brag, Don, Crib, Shoot, and Poker. Of course there were adverts for Poker sites and a few offered free-rolls to get you started, so I took up the free-roll's offered and couldn't win a bean. So I wondered why, and it was after studying the Late Night Poker games I realised that you cannot afford to see every flop, It is just not possible, as the blinds will see you off in no time, So I changed my strategy and started to get places in the money. I bought book's and watched a lot of on-line Poker videos and the thing they don't show is the hand after hand of folded action, it just wouldn't be good TV. But after winning a few Dollars in free-rolls I started to play Micro stake Sit and Go games, and became quite good at low stake games, winning more than I was losing, and it was then I decided to start playing Live games in Pubs and Clubs, and really I have never looked back. I have done well in the last 20 years, never wanting to make a career from Poker, just happy to play for fun, and a few extra pounds in my pocket. When the fun Stops, STOP! [/QUOTE]
