Cause I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's why in a nutshell:
Got introduced to the game when Moneymaker played in the WSOP. First played when a buddy started a game last Jan. $5 buy-in, dealer's choice, 75% nlhe.
Started playing .10/.20 online to get the hang of limit. Worked up to .50/1.00 just breaking even and losing a little.
Read all summer long and learned to play the game through hours of practice and study. Started keeping records in mid July playing 1/2 and straight 2 online and at a B&M. Made .25 an hour for the first 40 hours I played. Lost the month of August.
Since then, been building a bankroll. Now, been playing 2/4 at three tables at a timemaking steady income on top of the career I love!!!!!!!!! Life can't get any better.
This month, I'll have my first month of $1,000 plus profits ever.
Just got my computer installed at home, because I only played 2 hours a day at work before. As I type this, I'm very happy to have found a pure form of competition and skill (I do play NL too) that I can make a substantial amount of profit from and enjoy every minute of it. I hope to make this into a $20,000+ a year hobby! Beats the hell out of bass fishing!!!!!!!!!
Now, those same buddies and I play for $30-45 (rebuys) winner takes it all NLHE that is of a high caliber of play.
All of that from $5.00 buy- in and nickel dime blinds at Mike's house.
