To be honest have been gambling most of my life in one shape or another.  I think looking back the main reason I started was I could easy get most of me brothers pocket money, even if there was a slight bit of cheating involved.  We progressed onto Chess and Backgammon, where the stakes gradually got higher as we got older.  Only really took up cards a few years ago, mainly online stuff with minor success.  But became increasingly bored with staring at a small screen into the wee hours of the morning.  Luckily my local pub clicked on to the poker phenomenon that is sweeping the country.  It was Texas Hold Em, with approximately 25 ? 40 players. God what a different playing real people.  To make matters worse by darling brother won the Tourney 3 times, which made me even more determined to learn the game. Though I have now won it twice.  Coming to get ya kid.  So I decided to look for a small local gang where I now live as the poker addiction had kicked in badly and I needed my weekly fix.  Low and behold I found the merry band called TC-Poker via the tinternet. This was over 3 months ago now and the rest is now history.  I feel I have gained some new found friends in the mad but interesting world of tc-poker. Realistically I still have loads to learn, my own downfall is that I never have a clue what anyone else has, which as you can imagine puts me at a disadvantage most of the time.  To end this short profile, I dedicate this short montage to my darling wife who allows me to dream that I am Gus Hanson and that one day I will win the ?World Series of Poker? with a 2 4 suited.  I have a dream.
