Long time,i was there the first day poker opened at Foxwoods and played there daily for about 7 years.

I remember playing at PS when the largest game was 15-30 limit.

Ran around Ontario with Gavin Smith playing large limit games at Casino Rama,Port Perry,and Brantford.

I started playing for a living in May 2003, and played my first hand of non-penny ante poker just a few months prior.

I started playing on Pokerstars in 2005 after the Moneymaker boom.

Since then, I have played at a lot of the Vegas casinos but near home (Toronto area) I have played at Casino Rama, Casino Niagara and some at Seneca.

Have you been in touch with Gavin recently? I have always liked that guy and I hope he is doing well.

I just started in February, thanks to the great promo SBR was running that month. I really enjoy the game and have played once at a casino and in one live tournament. This is a really good place to learn the basics of the game, some good players here IMO.

[cant call it]

I started playing poker with my dad's drunk friends while camping about 8 years old.
we played jacks or better trips to win
I took about three hundred dollars that weekend.
His friends were pissed.
And I stole a beer or two from their cooler.
But that's how I roll.

Been playing cards in some form or another since around 1995. Stud, 5 card draw, hold em, God knows what else. I started out playing 7 card stud. Been playing hold'em "seriously" for about 7 years now.

[borednaz]

Started in 06, needed a second income. Dropped $300 on, lost it asap. Bought $300 in poker books, sat and read everything for 6 months. Came back, Made 500ish a month since. Rush Omaha was my gold mine before black friday @ FTP. I'm still waiting on my FTP Point Swag which will probably never come.

Cool about Gavin! Glad to hear he is doing well.

Given I don't have a lot of money, I don't play a lot. I generally play at the 1-2NL tables @ Casino Niagara a few times a year. FYI, Sinmiedo is there more than I am.

Fallsview is a little rich for my blood. it is 5-5 and 5-10 I think, plus I hate that timed rake.

Cheers.

Started playing in 1995 or so for money, stuff like 5 card draw, stud, etc.... About 2003 the bars in my area started having free Hold Em tournamets and that's when I started playing NLHE. First site I ever joined was Pokerroom dot com.

i don't think the poker boom happened when you think it did. hell, party poker was already closed to US players by then.

i can remember being able to transfer off a site and into your checking account in a matter of minutes. like literally win a hand, cashout and buy beer with it that night.

I miss the days when US players could play at these sites. I used to grind $20 5 player SNG's on Pacific all day. EASY MONEY. In fact, every time I see these sites mentioned I think the country I live in sucks!!
