Ahah! Great storyline, the story of so many starting players, and the way they win a lot and lose it all in the next moment is so “animation” like! But it is very well applied to this case, because it really happens a lot to be the best on one day and the beast in the day after. And the fact of the players being under 18 is a big critic to the security system of many poker sites. Of course no one is questioning how did Sideshow Bob (Bart Simpson) had enough money on his account to play an $800,000 pot against Lisa if the father’s $5,000 were all in the same account, but that’s what fiction is about. I guess I must watch the full episode before talking about it, but I think im gonna love it, The Simpsons are great.

loool this episode sums up all the good and bad things await you on you poker journey- first you accidentally find the software, get hooked up, then somehow win even though you don't even know the rules properly (beginners luck imo), then you can't live without poker- you go on playing even higher stakes, have huge amount of cash in your account and.....howard lederer steals it...lol
