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.
