Never, I played freerolls for like 2 months, won $100, and never looked back.

Mine was around the same time, but I don't know the date. Early 2000. I deposited using my credit card (was actually a debit credit). I played a 2/4 and 3/6 holdem and stud on Paradise and Planet. The games where very tight. They were fairly tough because the only people playing online were serious poker players and because most people played much smaller online than they did live (live 80/160 players played 20/40, live 10/20 players played 3/6, etc). But a lot of people were weak/ tight and even though they knew how to following the starting hand chart from some book, had no idea what to do after that a lot of the time and you could steal a lot of pots just by betting at them. Against the right people, I would complete from the SB with almost any two cards preflop vs. one limper because so often the flop would come something like K82r and I would bet and no one would call.

I remember when Paradise invtented the Sit N Go (did anyone else have them earlier?) . As far as I know, it was the first tournament of any kind available online (at that time tournament poker was pretty unpopular) and they only had limit (because there was no big bet of any kind online and no real demand for it). They would only run them for a few hours twice a day since they were mainly a promotional thing and they wanted people to play the ring games (the vig on the tournaments was the same as today, $5+1, $10+1, $20+2 up to $100+9.

At that time nobody (at least nobody that I knew) multitabled or even thought of doing it. Paradise let you have two tables open at once, which I used only when changing out of one game and into another.

Early-mid 2001, I was one of the craziest donks on Paradise you would have ever seen back then.

1998, 1999, who can remember so long ago??

Whenever Casino Coco (where I met the mister [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img])became Planet Poker and went live for pay. I remember having to send them a cancelled check for verification and we did some kind of electronic check.
