In early 2004, flash games were smoother compared to what they are. The economy hadn't quite gone in the toilet yet, and poker players were way less savvy. So I took an attempt with the daftar judi online terpercaya thing, taking an $100 deposit and quickly running it to over $10,000 in just three weeks.
Having basically zero expertise in bankroll management, I was consistently playing levels that were way too high.
It was around this time that I got an invite with a game that took place after hours in the gaming store. This place was run amok with gaming prodigies, not merely poker, but Magic The Gathering players. If you've never been aware of MTG, its sort of like Dungeons and Dragons enjoyed playing cards. My poker buddies walked in over a few young teens playing, and my one friend remarked "Hey be careful, I think he's pocket Demons!"
But I digress.
This store had a lot of computers at the same time, and now we all would spend many hours on Party Poker or Ultimate Bet winning and losing unknown sums of greenbacks.
One night I sat down at an dealt with computer to learn. I sat at 4 tables of $5/10 (which I had no business doing having an $11,000 bankroll) and begun to grind away.
This one guy who I barely knew inquired about if I minded if he watched. "Nope," I said.
After about 5 minutes, he asked politely, "Mind if I offer you some pointers?"
"Please."
A fold here where I would've called, a raise here where I would've called, an appointment here where I would've folded...
You obtain the idea.
30 minutes later I was $2500 richer, and that he wouldn't please take a red cent.
"No, I insist. It's ok. I just prefer to teach."
Ladies and gentlemen,
Your 12th place finisher on this year's World Series of Poker Main Event:
