sit n go's short stack strategy =) Came across in his time at the school of poker

For me, it was in prison. We would play for ramen noodle soups. Taught by some really good card players.
a cruel fate led on the right path :)

I started to play a lot of freerolls and played at very low limits in order to raise a bankroll and learn good game skills, now I understand the game very well and can play both in good tournaments and in cash games at high stakes and to win something, poker is good for me a game where you can spend time and try to win and raise a bankroll!

Hello.
I started playing poker almost two years ago. In the first year, I lost my bankroll about 10 times. Now, in the last few months I have been playing freerolls and my bankroll is gradually increasing.

6 years old watching my dad play with his friends in the basement on Tuesday nights. Come to think of it that's the way I learned to play pool as well. I sure miss those days. : ) ;)

I don't remember which year, (I do not want to). free poker capital was offered by a poker site. I was very happy when I got it and started playing cash games at full tilt poker. First Cash Game, then Sit & Go, finally MTT.

I have been playing poker for about two years now. I started playing in 2017 and started with freerolls. Since then, I have not actually stopped playing. I really love this game and it is my favorite hobby.

Micro stakes cash for me. I started at the very lowest stakes, 1c/2c. I slowly worked my way up the stakes by playing and studying every single night and then turned pro.

I have begun from the play money.

I have begun from the play money.
I thought "It could win easily more than I thought."

I did the real money in the next.
A house is "party poker".
By setting in those days, when I win,
"Congratulations!" The indication which says so and a fanfare were called off.
The joy of that case isn't forgot even now.

I watched four times the different games one of the owners gave me a hoyle handbook... studied different games cribbage etc.. so stopped playing go fish and started playing friends for cash.... after that month i joined into the games with the dominos crews by time was 12 was taking down 100 a night in those games. I had a real knack and was very lucky most of the time I played....

My friend was playing and he knew Im good in maths so he was often giving me some excersice to calculate odds or something. Once when he was visiting me, he said he is going to play small live tournament and asked me if I would like to go with him. It was over 10 years a go and since then I'm playing time to time.
