My friend got me interested in playing "serious poker" one fine Sunday afternoon after church service. What interested me the most was that he said the strategic elements of poker were akin to high-level video gaming.
The words of a gambling addict or a wise sage? I soon found out.
Remember the scene in the Matrix where Neo takes the red pill and life as he knows it changes? It was like that, except i'm not Keanu Reeves and my life didn't change, my view on poker did. I'm terrible of course but I hope to rise above the mediocre. I did enjoy poker casually but it was to gamble, and not to win. Being a huge supporter of the "play to win" mindset, I realized I needed to change my ways and dominate this game.
My meagre buy in of 20 dollars has transformed into 70 within two weeks, with micro SnG's and grinding augmenting my BR. Learning the terms, honing my game and reading countless e-books are a grueling chore but I see the light far, far ahead.
I cannot wait to patch my numerous leaks and move ahead to the next level!

| Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same | |
