Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would become as addicted to online poker as I had. If you are any sort of poker enthusiast at all, then you know that logging into a poker account is much like giving a kid a bag of candy after he gets his first taste. You can play heads up, 7 stud, no limit hold em cash games, limit hold em tournaments, sit and go tournaments, regular cash games. The possibilities are endless.
The very first site I played on had a cash, as well as free area to play poker. This is very similar to nearly all other online poker sites. Well, this one in particular had a free roll tournament, that if you won would put you in their big game on Saturday for free. You need to understand that to me back then, the big game was a top prize of $125.
At the time I was at a job that I did not enjoy very much, so I ended up playing in the free roll tournament when I was supposed to be doing data entry. After winning my seat, I received my confirmation for the big game. The pressure suddenly sank in as I found myself up against 500 other players. And surprisingly most were actually pretty good. These were not the garden variety that I found trolling...
