Message: [QUOTE="JOEBOB69, post: 2100963, member: 53987"] Back story on Joe Bob as player. I've started playing poker (7 stud) when i was ~8-9 years old with my uncle. He and his friends used to have a Fri. night home game every week. They played .25 .50 with the high card doing the bring in. The game seemed to always end,and then they started rolling the dice. I never shyed away from the gamble side. When i was in my early teens i had a pretty big roll,that i got from working in the evening,weekends, and during the summer (also from the games over the years). When they started rolling dice for $1 etc. I would push for the gamble of high dicing for $20, then it evolved into rolling for $100 and up. Finally i would get no action because everyone had scared money except me. I continued to play with them and other games until i was ~19 and the game seemed to break off. Around the time the game was breaking off i started tring to sneak in a casino near me the Silver Star. Some times i sneeked in,some times that wouldn't let me in. In any case we had one of the biggest stud games in the South going on. It was $5-$20 spread limit stud game. I made a lot of money in that game. In 2003 i was sitting around the table playing my normal stud game. When a dealer asked me if i ever played NL hold'em. My answer was obv no. He said the future (money) was going to be in that game i.e. Money Maker. All i can say is that he seen the effect of it comeing probably before any one else. I bought some books, learnt a little bit about the game. An just ****ing killed the game tbh. Then i think 2005 not quite sure, but my wife informed me about online poker. Then i started playing on Party Poker. I thought this is amazing every time i want to play it's there. No more driving ~2 hours one way to go play. Then i moved sties from Party,to Stars then to FTP. I don't think people remember or they weren't around to know how ****ing soft the games were back then. I went from a $200 deposit to around ~$20k in a month or two single tabling. Funny thing was i didn't even know you could muti table back then lol. My biggest fault by far was BRM. I didn't even know what it meant. That was the problem coming from live to online for me. If i went to the casino to play 2/5 i would bring 1,000-1,500. I treated online the same way. Say i had 25k in my account my thought was hell let me go play 25/50 an see what happens. What a **** up i was. Even though i have withdrawed way more than i have deposited,i feel i have just gave away so much money in my early years of online poker. Moral of the story,there is not moral of the story. Just that we learn an get older. Thats a little of JoeBobs poker past. [/QUOTE]
