this stupid game saved my life! its kind of funny. i grew up in a disfuntional house, basically raised in the streets. took on a life of crime and drugs. spending alot of time in jail between the ages 14 to 23, for drug sales, and other criminal activity.

i had played poker before, but diddnt get hooked till i played wsop on xbox live. soon after got myself a table, started a .25 .50 game, and my first year won 35,000. im in my third year, playin semi pro, and im the only guy still alive, out of a group of 7 that i was involved with.

just like everyone, i get bad beats and say that poker sucks, and have maybe even said that it was a stupid game, but in the end i always remind myself, that this stupid game saved my life. id do anything to get my friends back and teach them this stupid game called poker.
