Kind of weird

I actually learned when I was young and dumb and went to prison for a little bit I learned from convicts laugh out loud and I'm actually pretty good at it now

Starting.with online free poker is definitely the safest for modern era of poker.

In past this simply didn't exist. You paid to train, which is why so few sharks we're around back then as it was so.hard to get good at without losing a ton of money.

If I'd been a 70s kid rather than a 90s kid I surely would never have taken the risk to be a poker player. I may have tried something like... Well I don't know what I'd be do I now?

It isn't the past that defines the man, it is the man that represents his past.

Be the best ex con rather than accept a glass ceiling in life. If you live in a nation that legalizes it in all forms, poker is the fairest career as it truly punishes the indisciplined and rewards anyone of any past who works hard at it.

I saw a poker game on TV a very long time in the movie and I liked the game, then I started learning to play free chips and realized that you can start playing for real money and it became possible to play and win!

The poker on money has many differences from a free game. A game in poker on real money, first of all, forces to belong to a game responsibly. When you are responsible with money for each placed order, you will not make so often rash actions. The bluff and a semi-bluff are an integral part of a game in poker on money. Exactly here, you can, without holding anything interesting, to take away bank, the courageous actions or having counted weakness of hands of partners. If in a game in free poker, a bluff takes place in several percent of cases, then in poker on real money, correctly using these methods, you will be able to have a half of the prize at the expense of these components of poker.

I first got acquainted with playing poker in social networks and for a long time I played there just for fun !!! but I was denied access to the game for the fact that I was selling the conditional chips so as in the application in which I played the conditional chips could be bought for real money (of course I did not sell the chips it was the moderator's oshyba) !!! there they gave a small amount of chips every day but the number of free chips was limited and many experienced players just sat at the table with the fish and lost chips for them for a small fee !!! so I started looking for options for playing poker and accidentally found a site pokerstars !!! from this moment began my game on pokerstars !!! I want to say that it was very difficult to change your game so-as the game for real money and the game for conditional chips is very different! already almost three years I play pokerstars, but only now I gradually began to get rid of chronically bad oshybok !!!

My oldest Son enjoyed watching it on TV. We played around the kitchen table and I was hooked.

I met in the fictitious money, to understand the logic of the game! then I made a deposit of 10 dollars, that's how I stopped playing! I remember the first day that I played for real money, our heart goes in the mouth when I made an all in for a bluff and it passed! poker is very exciting!

I knew the game through an acquaintance who lives poker and by the way very well, as I have free time I decided to try to learn a little more about the game by entering some freeroll, after some time I decided to watch videos and read some books and articles and so follows my evolution, playing some more restricted free and playing some sit go and some mtt micro
