What Goes Around Comes Around: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

In early 2004, online games were more supple compared to what they are now. The economy hadn't quite gone within the toilet yet, and poker players were way less savvy. So I took a shot at the online thing, taking an $100 deposit and quickly running it to around $10,000 inside of about three weeks.

Having basically zero knowledge of bankroll management, capsa susun I was consistently playing levels that have been too high.

It was around this time that I got an invite to some game that took place after hours in a computer game store. This place was run amok with gaming prodigies, not only poker, but Magic The Gathering players. If you've never been aware of MTG, its kind of like Dungeons and Dragons enjoyed handmade cards. My poker buddies walked in over a few young teens playing, and my one friend remarked "Hey be mindful, I think he's got pocket Demons!"

But I digress.

This store had a lot of computers as well, and that we all would spend many hours on Party Poker or Ultimate Bet winning and losing unknown sums of greenbacks.

One night I sat down in an taken care of computer to learn. 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 asked me if I minded if he watched. "Nope," I said.

After about 5 minutes, he asked politely, "Mind if I offer you some pointers?"

"Please."

A fold here where I would've called, a raise here where I would've called, a trip here where I would've folded...

You get the idea.

30 minutes later I was $2500 richer, and he wouldn't have a red cent.

"No, I insist. It's ok. I just like to teach."

Ladies and gentlemen,
