i dont usually post on here but i usually read the posts here like everyday... started with homegames with friends about once a week. i wasnt very good until after a while my friend let me borrow ace on the river by barry greenstein and then practiced with freerolls online. deposited about 2 or 3 times in may after my birthday. went down to about 27 dollars or so and played mostly .05/.1 and .10/.25 then placed first in about 2 one dollar tournaments with rebuys and found myself at about 700 dollars in about 4 months. i read alot online and learned by taking my time and learning from mistakes.
