Back when I played at Hero Poker I was in a tourny and one player was really being ugly to another, so I started putting my 2 cents in and us two really gave the guy a hard time. From then on we played the same tournys about every day and we would have each other's table open the whole time rooting for the other.
Well that went on for awhile and we were always talking about us ending up heads up in the tourny at FT. Well it did happen. I was way ahead in chips and I could have taken him out easy, but what I did was post/fold and told him when we got about even we would go alin and best man win. When we did go alin I had 56 and he had K4. The flop had a 5 but the river was a K. It was real funny for us both and I don't think ether one will forget it.
After that he went missing for awhile and then one day he sent me an email and I talked him into joining a forum I'm a member and play on my team, so he did. Then it was my turn to go missing. I just completely stopped playing poker for about a year.
Guess what. He sent me a PM yesterday and now we are hooked back up again. Trying to get him to join here. But this is the kicker. He plays on Seals With Clubs and he asked me if he could give me some chips to play on there. Well yes I took him up on it. What kind of friendship is this? He's in Cal. and I'm in Ga. Just never know when, where, and how we are going to come in contact with others.

That's really cool. After he joins up here ;), you guys should plan to meet in Vegas with CardsChat members some day. Would make a great continuation of the story. :)

Never fear, I am here :hello: Yes them were some good times. Now if the site in question didn't run off with all my money it might have been even better. That was one reason I quit playing for a while.

Come on Matt you did not tell me you was a member of Cardschat. Or did you just join because I asked you too the other day. Man don't sneak up on me that way. When I seen the name I said WTF I know someone with that name. Hey you guys this is the man I was talking about in this story. This is cool as chit. Always good to have you around. And these people have helped me put my poker game back together one piece at a time and got my bankroll back up to around $100.

Glad you joined Matt. If you be active a month and 65+ posts you can join the freeroll club and they have a freeroll almost every day on one site or another. But some are on sites we can't play on. oh well

Well since I'm not a big forum poster 65 posts would take me 2 years to get. It would be easier for me to just deposit on a site and pay to enter a tourney. LOL :D

Well what ever you think is best. I worked my butt off for it and have played in several already. I would probably do the same as you if I had the money. I will get my SSI sometime this year and will get a big settlement and when I do I'm going to deposit $500 on 3 or 4 sites.

Hi Mattster and welcome to Cardschat. PapaC has already shown himself to be a great addition to our forum and from his story, I'm guessing that it's going to be nice having you around as well.

Don't focus so much on the posting requirement, just a few posts here and there and before you know you'll be eligible for our freeroll club. For me, the focus isn't on playing for free but playing with other Cardschat (CC) members.

This is such a friendly and knowledgeable group and I think you'll really enjoy it.

Papa, great story of a poker friendship. Hope it lasts for a long time!

nabmom thank you very much for the reply, and thanks for the kind words. I have come to love getting on here and reading and posting. I have learned so much here and I have to give credit to some other places too. Matt will get there one day, and he loves poker like me. We sure have had some good times together. It will last, because we will make it last, and believe me we laugh and turn around and cry on each other's shoulder lol.
