two years ago started at one of the primapoker affiliates. Got a free $30 bonus played some shorthanded and headups small limit hold'em. Built up a bankroll and played NL got up to $4500 in 3.5months took it out paid for school and dep. money at Paradise Poker, PokerStars. Started with $100 at paradise got up to $2700 cashout $400. Lost $2265 in 2hrs to a bunch of 2 outers at the 20/40 built up $35 playing small NL and the Sit N go tourneys to $1900. Cashout $500 lost $1400 in another couple of hours. Felt like banging my head against the wall but it was 3am and my neighbors would've called the cops. 1 week later after some restored sanity dep $100 ran it up to $14xx. Cashout $1000 promptly lost the rest. Won't ever play at paradise again. Seems they penalize you or what not after each cashout. Took my 1k dep $500 into party got a $100 bonus did the same with empire (they are both basically the same site). Games are so easy there. Up at pokerstars but only play the sunday night NL tourney there as the cash ring games there have all rocks. The World Poker Tour and the ESPN World Series of Poker have done wonders for online poker. You get so many new and clueless players it's like free money. Oh well back to the games as I gotta get enough to buy a sweet Acura Legend I just saw.
