Seriously, this forum has helped me win money and that includes you ndn...for a long time i had been playing on full tilt, aka donkey tilt, and because of the lack of cash i had been playing the really low limits, and it's very hard to be successful at the low limits on full tilt mostly from money won in freerolls, BECAUSE SO MANY DARN PEOPLE play there...anyways, i decided to switch to carbon and play for real and take it totally serious...i was at the edge, i took so many bad beats on full tilt, i said this is my last hoorah, if i fail miserably im going to give up on poker and just say, "hey, im not good at it."

So i played freerolls on here, and i played and blogged on here until i had about 2000 in chips on ndn. I then won a chips tourney worth 5k in chips and decided it was time to give it a try on carbon. I cashed out my chips for 50 bucks on carbon(thanks NDN-ur the best)i had it all the way up to about 120 at one point then i took some beats in cash and was back around 65...i went up to school for graduation and was planning on playing golf the day before, however, due to rain, 'esmordan' and i were forced to play poker in the library, then moved down to the computer lounge inside our dinig facility. I was playing in a 1500 guarantee on carbon and played very tight, up until the bubble, and then i just opened up my game and let it all hang out, before i knew it, i was at like 45k in chips, saying to myself, "sh*t mike, you can win this thing now" and thats what i did, with esmordan right by my side watching and talking every hand through, i took first for 300 bucks, my first online cash. I immediately cashed out the 300 and it went straight to paying off college bills. I got my swag back, and its all thanks to everyone here, and especially you NDN for having such a kickACE forum website!!!
