What Goes Around Comes Around

In early 2004, flash games were much softer than they are. The economy hadn't quite gone inside toilet yet, and poker players were less savvy. So I took an attempt with the daftar judi online terpercaya thing, taking an $100 deposit and quickly running it to around $10,000 inside of about three weeks.

Having basically zero expertise in bankroll management, I was consistently playing levels which are excessive.

It was around this time that I got an invite to your game that happened after hours inside a gaming store. This place was run amok with gaming prodigies, not just poker, but Magic The Gathering players. If you've never been aware of MTG, its type of like Dungeons and Dragons used playing cards. My poker buddies walked in with a few young teens playing, and my one friend remarked "Hey be cautious, I think he has pocket Demons!"

But I digress.

This store had lots of computers at the same time, and now we all would spend much time on Party Poker or Ultimate Bet winning and losing unknown sums of income.

One night I sat down in an taken care of computer to play. I sat at 4 tables of $5/10 (which I had no business doing by having an $11,000 bankroll) and begun to grind away.

This one guy who I barely knew asked 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 have the idea.

30 minutes later I was $2500 richer, and the man wouldn't require a red cent.

"No, I insist. It's ok. I just prefer to teach."

Ladies and gentlemen,
