Online Poker

[Testament]

Stay Away I know it will be hard the first few days but you will loose your shirt overtime.. I know plenty of people that started playing the same way you have. Before you know it they are playing the SLOTS and the other crazy rigged games and DOWN a SHIT LOAD of $$$$... That is just my opinion take it for what it is worth... If you are going to Play GOOD LUCK HOPE YOU WIN MILLIONS.....

YES


if you have an addictive personality or have ever shown lack of discipline, poker can be very dangerous.

I've dropped about 20k (?) and I am just now starting to overcome the problem.

Its not because I am a poor player, i'm actually very very good at the game, but if you play outside of your bankroll, you WILL go broke.

its just too easy to jump to the next stake online before you're ready to absorb the bad beats.

I love poker, don't get me wrong, but some things you like aren't the best thing for you.

I'm a bonus whore. Play on almost every site, rotating around, collecting bonuses and cashing out. Been online since 2001. Started at PokerRoom was my first online deposit. I am up approximately $15000 in that time span, 8 years. Not huge but steady.

I play more live now like at underground clubs and home games. More money to be made there and no cashing out BS. :rasta:

Continue to only play low stakes, please.

I once made $2,000 in one night, moved up in stakes like a dumbass, lost everything, put in another $1,000 from my credit card and lost that, a few days later I was still fuming about losing a $2,000 profit and lost another $1,000.

Overall I went about $2,500 in debt in a couple of days all at 18 years old.

That aside, I love live games. The first time I played I won $1,100 at the casino and I place 1st - 2nd in about 75% of home games.

I only played at a major casino once and lost $300 in an 8 hour session. I think the best hand I had all night was a pair of jacks with the exception of having pocket AA beaten on the river by 8-9 off suit...

I love poker.
