Great post eejit, you hit the part of poker that people don't think about at all. You can win money fast and lose it fast as well. I agree with you 100% and i actually went through this a little. First time playing poker was my freshmen year in college and i lost twenty bucks to my friends. Next day i put 200 on party poker and i got it up to 5000. Beginners luck because i know my skill now and i realized now that i was a fish at high limits online. i eventually lost all the money. Great lesson though because at that time it was just numbers to me and i knew nothing about poker.

Now my poker is mostly live cash game and tournaments and i blog on here to play a little online poker. Because you never know who is behind the computer.

anyways thanks for the post it was a good one.
