Default My new addiction: Internet Poker

Yep, the Primitive one has a new addiction: Playing Poker on the net.

Tried it first a few months ago, and now I'm hooked (In a good way ). It seems Internet Poker gives me the chance to utilizes a lot of the skills honed by playing SEIV/PBW for a couple of years: Attention to detail, patience and the ability to outguess your opponent.

Still early days and I got a lot to learn but I’m doing OK so far. Still only on the 0.50/1 $ tables (better do my mistakes where its cheap) but I’m steadily building the bankroll to move up. Dunno how far I can take this, but I’m going to give it my best shot. Wish me luck

BTW:
This new addiction cuts down on my available SEIV time, and is the reason I won't join the tournament (or any other new games for a while). My ongoing games will be done at the normal rate

You and everyone else, Primitive.
I hope you have fun, but keep an eye on your bankroll. Gambling addictions are real.

What me and my brother did was put 50 in, with no expectations.

Then we won a bit, and set down that we would not go below the minimum cash-out limit.
And set an upper limit where we'd cash out the minimum as profit.
