Hello chatters.

As I joined cardschat I was a relative newbie to online-poker.

I saw a freeroll and wanted to play it - like so many others.

Then I learnt that cardschat is so much more - a truly remarkable place with great members.

The post count control slowed me down for only 10 days -

since then I'm garfing the threads up and down.

I use the term "garf" loosely since it has sooo many meanings and somehow "spamming" isn't really appropriate.

Half a year later I can assure you that joining here is the best decision I ever made regarding poker.

Through the help of cc I got small bankrolls on 4 poker sites.

You ought to know that poker is a game of decisions so here a short rewiew abou what I learnt.



1. For me poker is fun - you ought to love it to be successfull.

2. Read into strategy ->https://www.cardschat.com/poker-strategy.php


3. Read about bankroll management Poker Lessons: Building A Bankroll


4. Take part in cc-freerolls,after reading this IMPORTANT!! Freeroll Password Release Information

join the club Cardschat Freeroll Club Sign Up Thread to play with veteran members who
are willing to spank your booty -just for fun.
Usually they are playing higher stackes
- here you will learn so much, your game must improve.

5. Read and post in threads which interest you - think about what you're posting and you'll

get help and answers to almost every question or opinion you might have - even if not
related to poker.

6. Cardschatters are known to invade most any game - various - freerolls, buy-in

games, even ofc invasions with final tables dominated by members.
So if you make it deep - and request railing - wooots and cheers will follow you as you take it down.
This really happens - I was astonished as I won my first game.

7. Search the golden archieves - they're golden: best poker strategy posts

8. Don't play too much - if your family life suffers don't blame us, blame yourself - a sceduled timetable may help.

9. I made great friends here - with people around the world - and can't mention all of you who helped me out, gave me a hint, backed my oddities,

invented nicknames, made the lists, made this site, made me laugh, made me garf, cheered and bowed and got hailed to but I love you all


(exept the password dealers and thiefs who don't understand that they're hurting themselves ultimately.)

10. There is no big brag added - I simply go much deeper if I play - and win if I play well.

Added bankroll before joining CC (0$ deposit) - 0.53$
Added bankroll after 6 months: 36.58$

Others here I know made much more - but I turned from a average loser to a small winner now.
And if I hadn't experimented with playing cashgames obove my limit (spank me - ty) it would be about 110$).

I won and cashed in several freerolls and sngs - and I think I'm an ok MTT player by now, but the more I play the more I see - there is a lot still to learn - and maybe I can brag really big some day.

Until then (or until the 2K post) the garfing will continue....:eek:

Nice post Grafkarow and congrats on the milestone.

p.s
Can a mod make the font bigger? It kinda strains the eyes reading it so small.

Ty pifan - the post count is the only thing I'm ahead of you, though .

I love the CC challenge - and I think it has improved my game, too.

You'll be in the 1K club soon aswell.
