Greetings,

If you are here, you probably already know me.

From 2006 to 2010 I was a micro limit player online. I put $50 on Pokerstars and never reload or looked back. While I was working on my game and playing a lot, I built that $50 into $1500. I won some tournaments and even got sponsored into a $1500 NLHE event at the 2008 WSOP.

I got out of online poker in 2010and 2011 while still solidly in the black. There were just other things in life that I wanted to spend my time on.

in 2012 I came back to online poker, starting at the lowest cash game stakes with the right BR and the mindset to do things the right way.

I still host a monthly home-game / annual league. I still play, but it is just a causal hobby now. Thanks to the thousands? millions? of people that I played with and learned from. I learned from you and the game. Not just how to play, but how to deal with gain and loss, and how to be okay with short term variance.

If I can offer one piece of advice for you to use and use well: Only play with money you can afford to lose. When it goes on the table, it's not yours anymore. I played this way, and I can look back at my time involved in poker and say I had fun. I have seen poker and gambling hurt a lot of people. Anything can do that when taken too far, but the addictive quality of the game is undeniable.

This will remain so that I can have a list of what I was able to accomplish. Someday I might be to old to remember on my own ;).

Be well.
