    hi guys
    well as my name says it i am from india and immigrated to us 2 yrs ago ( dream come true for me as a child always wished to come here) i was raised in a middleclass family ( i am 22) but always enjoyed my life. came here in 2003 fall and started workin in candy store worked hard for 14 hrs a day 6 days a week it was lot tiring . didnt wanted to work in a newsstand but had to feed everyone. went to india last yr for a trip really enjoed goin to my city where i was raised in bombay.
    and yes last yr in 2003 i was watchin espn and they wehere showin this poker game i dint knew nuthin abt poker . and what a coincidence i recived a magazine and in that they had the rules of poker how to play i read it as i was curious abt the game after watchin on tv. i read it and understood quickly. was really excited with all the chips movin and they showin money on espn. so i go on net and chk a site www.pokerroom.com quickly deposited 10 dollars on that site and told to myself if i lose this ill not play again. and yeah lose in 5 min .deposit 20 again breaking my promise and lose it again in 5 min( here i come poker in this world). so i was not happy that day and never played poker for 2 months. then on espn i was watchin a rerun of 2004 wsop and i got hooked again and decided to give it a try to this game. i deposit some money on bodog lose like 300 bucks soon lot for me at the same time was makin good money in news stand. decided to try partypoker after all the hype abt it being the largest poker room online lose my deposited money quickly very quickly. lose lose lose a lot more. and finally i mastered the online game. started wining sit and go comin close to final tables in mtts and it was even break but more of loss loss and loss.tried pokerstars now paradise mostly everypoker room out there. and my game improved but i was losser at the end of the day. i was wining every sit and go i used to enter but jus din like playin it (my range was 20 30 dollar) i was down in money and mtts was the only option to cover it . played pardise came 3 in ocean tourney played pokerstar 10 dollar buy in came 7 out of 1000 entrants played full tilt 100 dollar buy in came 4/30 my best perfomance so far but yes i was losser at the end of day.
    then i decided to try cash game and lost more here coz in touneys atlest you sit for 3 4 hours and lose only certain amount of buy in but in cash you lose like crazy. lost a lot .
    finally after research and everythin i mastered the cash game
    the truth abt online cash game is they have patterns nuthin is RANDOM IN ONLINE POKER they have patterns.also depend on preflop betting .
    i quicky mastered this game made some money lost it again i don know wheter its in my fate or i am unlucky or greedy to win more in a day or playin in tilt but i lose lose and lose.
    i lost a good amount of money playin online.and today i have came at point i am tired of this game(though i still love it but will never come back in this game) and i am officially retiring from online poker(i never played offline though and not intrsted also) .
    i know someof you make tons of money and yes i dreamed to make money like nsxt2 sheets gank and all that pros but i was wrong i cant be rich overnight playin poker .
    someofyou will continue makin money online and i wish them and all of you good luck in your game only few points for lossers like me know your limt and when you need to win really really need to win plz stop.
    after takin my decisions still feelin bad for losing money and time but feel grt that its never too late to stop.its never late.
    before ending wud like to thank you all espicially adam , cal , riley and all the pros for makin this wonderfull site for all poker players. really enjoyed playin this game meetin nice people.
    it was a bad exp in terms of money but learned a lot in life and will treat my hardearned money rite way.
    already uninstalled all the poker sites from my computer and all poker related stuff is out of my life.but ill come on this site and watch poker as a spectator of this game not as a player.
    thank you all
    and wish you all good luck in life
