I am sorry that I will write an essay again - I am not able to do it in other way.
1. Being You friend
I visit the forum because this place is like home to me, and I consider forum members to be friends, or even family. Here I find a break from the evil world that surrounds me. This is a magical and unique place for me. Even though I don't know anyone personally, I have great respect for many of the members. As I found out over the course of a year, I appreciate them not only because they play great poker, but above all because many of them are kind and empathetic, and their warm and wise words give me strength every day.

@Martin, who rejected my application for platinum membership, motivated me even more to show that I wanted to be a member of this community, and not just have access to platinum freerolls, in which I most often could not participate.
I really liked @AKiravio,
@jonaselloco,
@Luvepoker,
@strokin07 (the stoic calm and wisdom of Papa Smurf or Gandalf - I grew up without a father and that's why I see them as authorities).
I treat many of the members as friends from my backyard: The Dogg, my favorite poker player (Greetings to you,
@georgi krastev, and I wish you success in building the biggest bankroll possible).
@Bricxjo and
@gravii2011 my first league team, which was bravely led into battle by our captain
@strokin07.
@Bricxjo impressed me with how important family is to him. I also remember feeling sorry when my girlfriend got sick (Thank you to everyone who supported me then).
@andy1996 (I fall in love with Your avatar hehe)
@john_entony, who bluffs as often as me
, @Yogo09 - my chips will always be Yours (when we will meet at the table xD). And Your Smile is so nice that I am not able to win with You, because You could stop smailng!
And you, Legend of Kazakhstan - did you think I forgot about you, @Gallardo777?! Never! Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. You are my idol both in terms of playing poker and in many personal qualities. Today I was eliminated from Fenomeno (and it wasn't a freeroll, just a further stage) by a player from Kazakhstan (MrV...dont remember and can't find that deal - I wanted to send You it). He had a flush with A10s from the flop. I got into trouble when I got a flush card with J on riva. I cried because I got into the tournament without making any rebuys or add-ons. It's just like always - my bankroll is zero.
And ladies playing poker OMG!!!
@Debi and
@Tammy and my first message received: "We look forward to seeing you in the forum!" I haven't deleted it to this day, and
@millya5 - She doesn't even know about my existence, because she only knows the strongest players ;( - I love you all!!!
And You
@AzdajaD and
@IRINA70 - You love play freerolls like me. I love You Twice Girls!
2. Knowledge and advices
It is the best source of knowledge I know. Starting
hands,
poker odds, valuable advice from Forum Members. Possibility to analyze and discuss specific hands. I really started winning since I became a Forum Member. A year ago I didn't know the difference between UTG and Button
. Thanks to the Cardschat Forum and its Members, my knowledge of Poker is increasing and my game is getting better (thank you for all the advice regarding both strategy and emotional factors.
@jonaselloco said: "And oddly enough, the person who has an attitude in life reflects it in poker. To cite an example. The anxious person in life is anxious in poker." It's so "deep", so wise and so true. Sometimes my jaw just drops and I read it again and again and I can't believe how smart friends I've met here.
3.Cardschat Freerolls
I'm not really concerned about the possibility of winning a few dollars at this point. I only played in a few freerolls. But those that were dedicated to a small group of Platinum Members. It's about the emotions that arise in me when I played with you. My heart was pounding, my hands were shaking, and I was more excited than when I played the $109 Fenomeno tournament. I'm afraid of this because I'll have a heart attack. I was actually happy when I received junk cards, because then I was sure that I was making the right decision: to fold. Each time I threw chips into the pot, it scared me so much that I could compare it to trying to take the chips out of the mouth of a lion that was ready to eat my hand as soon as I made the slightest mistake.
Tu sum up
You can be sure that I love You all and I apologize to those I have not mentioned. I often write about very personal things because I treat you as friends. I trust You and I often share with You things that I don't talk about with anyone. I must admit that it makes me feel better.
I feel a kind of bond with many of You and I dream that one day I will be able to meet in person, talk, drink coffee, go for a walk and even play a few hands.
Thank You all. I'm sure that thanks to the CardsChat forum, recreational players or pathological gamblers (like me) are being created into Poker Champions here. I am often ashamed of being an inexperienced player. Moreover, I sometimes write too long and off topic. Unfortunately, I have no experience in poker or being a forum member. This is the first and only forum of which I am a member. I change my avatar also to just let You know that I am not a...(i dont know what it was) but just normal human.
Good Luck in Life and in Poker Mates
Love You All!
