My 1st post & how I found this place (warning VERY LONG)

[Decks]

Gimmick.

Welcome. I read this thing the whole way through, and it reminds me of a time that I was really passionate about poker.

pepitan - welcome.

don't assume that everyone here plays higher stakes than you do.
When I started here I also didn't know the rankings of the hands. That was in 2003. I played freerolls and micro-stakes meaning mostly the .01/.02 games or maybe the .05/.10 games on PokerStars.

There are still plenty of newbie players and low-stakes players in the various micro-stakes and beginners forums at 2+2 and there's a whole wealth of information around.

Hang out in the beginners forum some also. You'll learn the abbreviations as you go.
There's plenty of sarcasm around here, moreso in some forums like NVG than in others, and some general meanness around as well but just ignore that silly stuff and have a good time.

I found your post very touching and interesting. I'm very familiar with SSI disability and know how hard things can be. Good luck to you.

I read the whole post and enjoyed it. It was certainly better written and more interesting than what I usually find when I travel to NVG.

Interesting read. Good luck to you and welcome to the forums! NVG (news, views, and gossip) is more often then not for entertainment. You'll get much more serious discussions in the strategy forums.

GL at the tables.

Welcome to the forums. Although you write quite well so I'm not sure if this is a fake message.

I would recommend you to learn some probability, or at least do your hardest to understand what is a bankroll, and how big does it needs to be so you don't risk losing your money.

If you have any doubts feel free to private message me.

But you can ask any doubts, even the more basics at the beginners forum, and people is usually very nice answering ... beginners forum's link

best regards,

dardo

Way too long, doubt anyone will read it, welcome to the forum anyway. Try and keep your posts to a couple sentences at the most.
