What Goes Around Comes Around

In early 2004, online games were less harsh compared to what they have become. The economy hadn't quite gone within the toilet yet, and poker players were a lot less savvy. So I took an attempt at the online thing, taking an $100 deposit and quickly running it close to $10,000 in a matter of a couple of weeks.

Having basically zero familiarity with bankroll management, I was consistently playing levels which were too high.

It was around this time that I got an invite to some game that came about after hours in the video game store. This place was run amok with gaming prodigies, not only judi poker online terpercaya, but Magic The Gathering players. If you've never got word of MTG, its sort of like Dungeons and Dragons enjoyed charge cards. My poker buddies walked in on a few young teens playing, and my one friend remarked "Hey be cautious, I think she has pocket Demons!"

But I digress.

This store had a good amount of computers at the same time, and that we all would spend much time on Party Poker or Ultimate Bet winning and losing unknown sums of cash.

One night I sat down in an dealt with computer to experience. I sat at 4 tables of $5/10 (which I had no business doing having an $11,000 bankroll) and started 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 present you with some pointers?"

"Please."

A fold here where I would've called, a raise here where I would've called, a phone call here where I would've folded...

You get the idea.

30 minutes later I was $2500 richer, and that he wouldn't have a red cent.

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

Ladies and gentlemen,
