Message: [QUOTE="BDDP, post: 1132611, member: 53317"] I learned to play poker back in 1978, i was six and i started to learn watching my dad play with his buddies. My parents saw no harm in playing "penny poker" with the family, so they are partly to blame for my obsession. I started playing more regulary when i joined the Army in 1990. an army buddy of mine put me on online poker in 2003 and that only fueled my fire. Once i started winning several local live tournaments while stationed in louisiana my mom saw fit to send me a custom made coffee cup with a picture of me on it from when i was about 6 or 7 playing 5card draw, wearing a cowboy had sitting behind a can of coors light and cig in the ashtray...i then realized they were not partly responsible for my vices but fully responisble!!! someday when they interview me on espn at the wsop i'll be sitting there with that cup in front of me. Thanks mom. [/QUOTE]
