There is only so much I can say but to tell the truth it is harder to play with others $$$ . Being watched at every move and all play picked apart or said well done is not really as easy as you would think. It is a definate learning experience and overall I am enjoying more now than a few weeks ago. i am allowed to say that I am going to be playing a few live games and then we see from there. I highly suggest to all players to play your best on every site, no matter if you received a NDB or used your own money as you never know who is watching or what may happen. I do not know where this will take me, or if it will be over after 6 months, but I am the one who will either play like a idiot or play well. Nerves have a big part of this and I am trying to hold it together. I will try to keep posing on my experiences as i am able too but i hope all do remember to play every hand like you are trying to move up in the world of poker.

Nice to hear all is going well and your starting to relax in to it all. I know you got a fair bit of live experience so think that might be when you shine even more and show them you got a big hairy set . But as you say you dont know were it will take you so make the most of it, as im sure you are and uppermost enjoy, then when you are megga rich we can all slag you off and say you play like a donk.

Posted by Pjot: Well, congrats for the oppurtunity! Must be great!
What blinds where you playing at, for how long at that site, and about how much did you play a week, or somthing, when this happened to you?
Not that i belive I could be in line for something like this, but it's interesting to know.
Really you never know what you can be in line for. I was not expecting this and I think that I really just got lucky. To answer your questions I started playing poker in 2005, and although this was not the first site I joined, it is my favorite and has been since 2005, for many reasons. Being that I was very new at poker, I started in micro levels, and as my BR incresased, as well as my "skill" level, so did my blind level.About 3 months ago, I played in a MTT on this site that had a larger buy in, and I ended up in first place. I have played quite a few live games here, and I consistantly end in the In the past 2 years, I have also picked up on H.O.R.S.E. and I am better at some than others, but I have also played a few MTT's in this as well and done ok. The best advice I can give anyone, is play every hand like you are being watched. Apparently, I was. I have said before that it is not as easy as most think to play with someone elses money. The first few weeks took some getting use too, but now it is a little easier. i have no idea how the next 5 months will play out, but I will give it my all.

lol OMG dunotra you read those Yes my "neighbor",( its actually a vacant property with this old dilapitated shack on it, that keeps blowing 6 ft boards onto my property and pool), is a jerk He tried to get it designated as heritage, but it is real bad. Even the heratige commitee laughed him out of the hearing. On Nov 26 have to go to a provincial offences court with him as he is charged with getiing physically assultive etc with an officer, not to mention property offences.
As for the school bus bit, well lol I won that one
