Hello!

Hi, my name is MIKE SHWAH and I’m from Mill Valley near san Francisco in California but originally from Tucson and before that this really wack place called Cortaro which is basically Tucson junior. I found this site just now while i was doing some research and there is some interesting stuff here.

So my story is that I played poker for the last 10 years in home games and did really well. I think I am about break even over 70 or so games which is good. About a yhear ago I tried out online. Was going to play at Party Poker but apparently the party is over and so I couldn’t play there. I went to Ultimate Bets and deposited $50. I remember this because I wanted to be able have a backup plan if I didn’t get the crds for the first deal.

So anyways I went in twice for all my chips with some pairs which is good usually at home but with the rigged games at Ultimate Bets the super user took all my chips and I had to stop for a while. It was hard for me to handle the downswig as usually at home I get my fare share of the cards. About a month ago I figured I would try again but I don’t trust all the rigging so I went to a site that they did not know me from before.

I deposited $100 at fulltilt because then they would let me play on the $100 table and if I get the cards I should get and not another downwing I can make my money back from Ultimate Bets. So the play started and I was the first to put money in. The guy to my right was typing all the time in the chat box so I know he his no good but he folded. So I pay the minimum and I have I don’te xactly remember but maybe a queen and 9, both are red. The guy next to me puts more money in and then someone else matches him and then that’s it. Oh, I put some more in too.

The flop cards is like a 7, a Q and I think a 4 but I’m not sure. Anyway, I have the best hand so I put half my money in the middle so I can get paid. The guy who chats a lot calls me a name and then one of the other guys throws his cards away but the other guy puts all his chips in the middle and I know he is trying to steal my money. So I call him and the next two cards are something, but I lose because apparently there are super users at fulltilt too.

So I take another break but now I read that the American government is taking money away from the super users who laundry it and so I think maybe online is safer. I have been watching the Travel channel and so have kept my skills up if you know what I mean. Plus if anyone has comments on the hand above that would be great, altho it pretty much played itself.

Now I have found this site I am going to give online poker one more try or else go back to my home games but that will be hard because people don’t want to come to my house anymore for some reason. Probably I AM TOO GOOD AND THEY SCARE!! Muahahaha Anyway, I read through som of the beginner digest things and you here mostly play like I do so that was good. The titles were interesting and I think I will look at them some more when I have time to go to the links.

Anyway, I was going to post a picture of myself, but I can’t until I have 10 posts. Anyway, I am white and look like the guy in that commercial for blankets, or so everyone says. I am going to play some tonight and will post some hands or something if I get good cards. I understand I can play more tables than one at a time and that sounds like a good way to make up money like I can on blackjack. I think fulltilt says I can have 9 so I may try that. That way I will have 18 cards to choose from each time I play!

Okay, I have to go change into some shorts because someone said that makes decisions easier. Cheers and good cards to all of you!

A word meaning all around cool. Usually used with the word uber.
Uber shwah can mean:

and in some cases, hi.
1) "Dude, that concert was uber shwah!"
2) "We're going to Hawai'i? Shwah!"
3) "Hey, I havn't seen you in the longest time!
"Shwah!"

Welcome to FTR bro, and and beware superusers wearing shorts....

"I can have 9 so I may try that. That way I will have 18 cards to choose from each time I play"

Sounds good in theory.




Good Luck.
