Looks like that this is more a hobbie for me. Of course, in past i had some dreams of poker career, but looks like it,s really difficult to win any serious money in online poker. I want to play live also, but in our country live games is out of law, so i just have no way.

Poker gives me the opportunity to continue to engage my competitive spirit . Since poker is a mental game and provides absolutely equal games from a physical point of view, it is a great way for those who have a strong competitive spirit.

My opinion
I play poker in case of a government overthrow or job loss. We all know poker can only et you so far. However, when people see you getting ahead in a job they take your job. So you need poker to get by in between jobs.

I like the process of thinking during the game. In a live game, looking at the faces of opponents and guessing their actions and maps is a good exercise for the mind. I like to disassemble difficult handouts of high limit players online.

I started playing poker at about 15. I believe the allure at that point was money and fame.
NOW - I had a life changing car accident January 8th. I'm writing this and playing a lot more poker because well quite frankly, what else am I going to do? Tomorrow will be just one day shy of three weeks being hospitalized with no target date on when I can get out of here and work on rehabilitation on my own.
Attached three fun pictures. This is the laundry list of injuries sustained on impact. Other driver was uninjured beside a sprained knee
Head to toe - Broken nose, Busted lip ( 2 stitches ) , Cracked sternum. 6 Cracked ribs, Punctured lung ( a needle decompression was used on the opposite lung in order to relieve pressure so I could breathe, Fractured right hand basically where you karate chop people that fifth metacarpal is out of place, 13 stitches just under my knee ( awaiting results of xray performed today )....
The real monster injury is in my right leg / ankle. It took them 25 minutes to extricate me and I was in and out of consciousness still at this point. The engine block had caved in and pinned my leg. Have about 20% bone loss and removal of my tibia. Fibula is mangled at the bottom as well as my heel / ankle have been blown out.
So - have fun out there and be safe. Always wear your seatbelt and obey the speed limit friends

Head on collision
It IS nasty. I was leaving work a little early, around 10:30 AM on January 8th ( ive been in three different hospitals total ). It had warmed up a little ( around -10 when I left for work that day ) and I think it just made the ice extra slick. Came around a corner doing 55 in a 65 so its not like I was speeding but even 55 I guess was a little too fast. When I started to fishtail I remember trying to recorrect and I remember seeing another vehicle coming down the highway but it seemed pretty far away. Thats all I really remember. I lost consciousness on impact and was in and out until the paramedics were able to get my leg out from under the engine block.
I was driving a small sedan, 2015 civic. The gentleman I collided with was driving a Ford 550 with some accessory on the front of his vehicle that added some extra steel on his bumper ( its meant to keep your car from getting damaged from deer. Theyre everywhere here and just jump in front of cars for fun )
When I arrived at the first hospital all they did was throw some stitches in my bottom lip and then some stitches right below my knee ( just recently found out I fractured my patella as well. Just add it to the list at this point I really dont care whats broken because I am healing fantastically! They realized at that hospital - they were not equipped to deal with my injury. Unfortunately for my bank account they put me in a helicopter and flew me to Denver , CO where I could get the help I need ( apparently airlifting someone costs like $40,000 ) I was immediately put into my first surgery to put my Tibia bank into my skin ( it popped out of my ankle on the inside so it was considered an open fracture.
About two weeks into my stay they realized that I was a disabled veteran and that my healthcare coverage was given to me through the government and they took me by ambulance to a different VA hospital where I could get the care I needed as well as financially - they help with the bill.
So all in all I appreciate you for wishing a speedy recovery. Im praying that I can get out of here before 30 days hits. Ive got cabin fever! Going stir crazy out here I used to be a really active guy.
Have a great day and thank you again for the well wishes.
