Taking the pulse of this site made me more interested in some of the topics presented here, meaning it made me more active online and also learn some English.

I made wonderful friends, learned poker and started my Br career with freerolls training with excellent players.
For me, everything changed quite significantly. I stopped spending my own money on the game. I started playing more patiently and more systematically. I started to get good results and my bankroll started to grow eventually.

I love getting to talk to other poker players to see their perspective not only in poker but life. This is a great community!

CardsChat helped me to cope with the depression I had at the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Of course, I could not even imagine that the poker Community would be so friendly to me. That's why from time to time I regret that I didn't register on this magic forum earlier. Once again, I would like to say a huge thank to the CardsChat administration for helping me in a very difficult time!

I started withdrawing money. I hadn't withdrawn it before because there was nothing to withdraw. And with our freerolls, I had enough money for more serious tournaments with buy-ins, which from time to time bring me good profits :)

Do u invest sometime, or only playing tournaments when u get money from some freeroll?

Since joining CardsChat, I’ve spent less time on computer games because freeroll schedules keep me engaged. I also watch fewer sports events, as poker tournaments often overlap with Champions League matches. Plus, I’ve made great connections here, allowing me to discuss hands, players, and even sports betting with like-minded people.

A lot changed... I've found the NB1 online poker community and after using the many free tools/ articles/ threads available, my poker game improved a lot and of course my results too... plus, I've found many CC members with similar interests and projects and I made quite a few friends over the years- CardsChat is definitely the place you want to be if you want to get your game to the next level <3

Online communities can be truly special, and it's great that you found support when you needed it most. Wishing you all the best, and I hope you continue to find joy and connection there!

Here I found like-minded people, learned to think more strategically, weigh all the pros and cons. This game really captivated me in a good way. I became more resilient, more patient, and more balanced.

The forum inspires the game, provides information and communication.It's really cool when a person isn't ashamed of his reality, no matter how illogical it may seem to others.Wisdom comes with years and experience, here on the forum many have gained experience and confidence in their judgments.In general, I can compare myself, how exactly "lived years" affect the reel and possibly the gaming experience. Because I remember well my states and attitude to this or that at the tables at 25 years old and at 36 years old and now at 57 years old.

I had been to Las Vegas probably 20 times before Cardschat...usually played blackjack and craps...it was my 12 year old son who actually signed up for Cardschat and I took over the account...since joining, I play poker in Las Vegas. I enjoy the social aspect of the game. I would play $1 - 2 or $1 - 3 tables, which was exciting enough for me, but in 2019, I joined Debi and the team from Cardschat playing in the wsop Colossus event. Now that was super exciting...only $400 entry fee, but playing in the actual WSOP was amazing. I thank Debi, Tammy and Cardschat for that opportunity.

I was 26, a newly wed, and training and competing in MMA when I joined CardsChat 17 1/2 years ago.

I got divorced about 2 years later and stopped training in MMA, but a few years after that, began training in pro wrestling and did that up until recently when injuries caught up with me.

Now at 43, almost 44, I'm about to get married a second time to a wonderful woman whom I've been with for the past 13 1/2 years.

During the past 17 1/2 years, I lived in 4 different states in the USA and have been through a lot and got to meet a lot of really cool people from CardsChat as well and got to meet a lot of people at WSOP 2019, playing in the Colossus.

It's been quite the journey.

When I saw your story, a movie played in my head. I also looked back at my life in the almost 10 years that I've been here at CardsChat. Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you much success on your journey.

Congratulations on your achievements, I dream of one day being able to play in Las Vegas with my friends here at CardsChat, here I also learned that we have life purposes and dreams with the prospect of being able to achieve them, I also never tire of saying: Thank you CardsChat for all the opportunities and to everyone who makes CC the best

Learning English was also one of the achievements I had at CardsChat. Looking at the testimonials, I identify with each one. I noticed that my story with CardsChat could already write a book.

Well, I love games, and poker is the greatest card game, IMHO. I was forced into early retirement :p, moved 4 provinces away from my people and I had to stay isolated. So, on top of giving me the belief in my game and the daily practice, CC gave me peace of mind. I still feel like I am a part of this world, and it is the amazing friends I made here that give me daily interactions and a sense of belonging.

I have my lifetime friends/family, but this is my online community and I love it. Clearly there are idiots wherever you go, but this is social media with the least amount of drama or fakeness or when there is, it is mostly funny.

Endless gratitude to those who put this on for us and well wishes to everyone on and off the felts.
