$2 home games 30 years ago....i had no idea how to play, and was the fish.
started watching friday night poker on uk tv in the late 90s...learning...more home games...started winning.
1st online experience...around 2002...pokerroom,com...as a depositor...won enough to buy a flight to
india when my K6 sooted ...spades...hit the river flush against pot
odds...
in 2003 got spanked for $500 or so by people who actually knew what they were doing... vowed NEVER to deposit again...never have.
i didnt really start learning poker until 2008..,.at the railbirds
poker forum...played regularly against the same opponents....learnt how to take notes and properly remember
hands... Read Brunson, Harrington, started actually learning from players better than me, rather than just losing to them.
forever learning...tuning my game according to my own style of play.
