my unfortunate adventure with poker online , was in 2011 , i discovered online poker through poker770 and started playing freerolls to practise everyday and i started getting better. I remember there was a chance to join the pro poker team if you take 3 pros out in a tournament something like that , i got close but never made it. the dreamer i am , i never gave up , in december there was like the biggest event with 1 million prize pool , i finished 3 freerolls in 3 days in a row first and through these satellites i got myself a spot at the main event. here comes the day of the tournament i did bring a lot of food drinks made sure i wont be missing anything and even told my family to not use the internet at all and especially not come in or bother me. the tournament starts , its my first big tournament , my heart is racing with every hand dealt , i was so scared and intimidated that i was the rookie on the tournament since i learned poker few months ago , i was playing super tight and passive , had few good hands but didnt win much with them , then comes a hand where 5 people paid the raise on the preflop and on the flop i had the highest suit and there was no flush draw , i was the happiest man on earth with that big pot already i was more than satisfied , comes my turn i was the last to bet , and there was already a min raise , i raise half my chips , 2 follows , here comes the turn still no flush draw and i have the nuts still , and suddenly it all went dark , it took me few seconds to realize the power was off , i couldnt believe it , not at this time , it cant be real , i went down running to check if i can get it back fast , no there is nothing i can do and to my surprise it only went down on our house the neighbors have light everything good , thats when i got to my knees like a crazy looking to the sky and talking to god at that time asking him , why is he so cruel , what did i do to deserve this , i know i am not much of a believer but still i am a good person , and the funny part my mom who is muslim telling me to calm down , no worries i would win another time ( she was always against gambling but that day she would say anything to calm her baby ^^ ) power got back after few minutes , i was so disgusted that i lost most of my chips , after few minutes i tilted and i went all in with A8 off suit and got kicked out of the tournament. it did crush me and all of my dreams , i never played poker online again until this year. the moral of the story : some dreams are meant to be crushed ^^
