In early 2004, online games were more supple compared to they are. The economy hadn't quite gone within the toilet yet, and poker players were a lot less savvy. So I took a trial with the online thing, taking an $100 deposit and quickly running it to around $10,000 in a matter of around three weeks.
Having basically zero familiarity with bankroll management, I was consistently playing levels that have been too high.
It was around this time that I got an invite to a game that occurred after hours inside a computer game store. This place was run amok with gaming prodigies, not only poker, but Magic The Gathering players. If you've never heard of MTG, its sort of like Dungeons and Dragons played with handmade cards. My poker buddies walked in over a few young teens playing, and my one friend remarked "Hey be mindful, I think he has pocket Demons!"
But I digress.
This store had lots of computers too, and that we all would spend several hours on Party Poker or Ultimate Bet winning and situs judi losing unknown sums of income.
One night I sat down in an taken care of computer to experience. I sat at 4 tables of $5/10 (which I had no business doing with the $11,000 bankroll) and did start to grind away.
This one guy who I barely knew talked about if I minded if he watched. "Nope," I said.
After about 5 minutes, he asked politely, "Mind if I provide you with some pointers?"
"Please."
A fold here where I would've called, a raise here where I would've called, a phone call here where I would've folded...
You get the idea.
30 minutes later I was $2500 richer, and the man wouldn't take a red cent.
"No, I insist. It's ok. I just love to teach."
Ladies and gentlemen,
