Man get me a job lol Been unemployed since the start of the year. Doesn't help when prospective employers google search my name and find references to takingdrugs, never thought the Internet would become as compulsary as it has done
Hi I am a huge lurker here; this forum is fun to read in my spare time; So just for fun I tried pokerstars in 2007. Poker was a ton of fun and I fished/mucked hubbles freerolls for 4 years, never playing live.
Made a deposit and didnt have a clue how to play succesfully. Eventually a player pulled up my playing statistics .. called me out as the biggest fish on stars and had the numbers to prove it! I was so embarassed .. it was in an 8.00 sng , i was playing like 7 tournaments at a time..
it was just a circus ...pretty funny if it werent so idiotic
so slowly, with poker school and training and rethinking what nlhe poker is, i slowly improved. always micro stakes... i had a 1.50 that i nursed for a long time until it hit 100. i cashed out and went to play live at the casino. i was so nervous but then i watched one hand. i was appalled at how crappy these guys played. i was almost in tears laughing at the quality of play! i had buy in 50.00 and I busted 4 players in under 2 hours! no fishing at all, they bet into me / bluffed / over bet / splashed there chips/ ... i was smiling ear to ear instantly calling there all ins .
anyway, i myself have no job and i cant in good conscience make another deposit. i gotta build my bankroll from nothing. i grind free rolls but yeah its tough. if you could find a dollar to transfer to my stars account AC1D1K it would help. in exchange i will get more involved with the forum/ and the brm community.
haha long winded but it felt good to write. ok ttyl

Ac1d1k.... Hi, and welcome to the forums - I'm glad you've got round to your first post after over a year
As I mentioned earlier (I guess you haven't read it), I won't just be sending money to anyone that asks for it, I'll be hosting a homegame, and doing a prize draw.
As I have your Stars ID now, you are opted in for the prize draw and the chance to win anything from $1 to $20 and you are more than welcome to play in the homegame at the start of next month. More details on that soon.
Congratulations on the new job, I'm glad you want to share your winnings in poker and help other users to create their bench, it's a pretty rewarding initiative .... should do everyone a pot and share

I'll be doing the draw on 1st September...
The homegame (which is totally separate to the draw - so you can opt in and not have to be available at any particular time) will likely be the first weekend in September.
