That is an easy one since I posted this info before.

I started playing at Intertops 15 years ago with $10 I won
in their sports betting contest. I started winning right off.
I started averaging $100-200 a month in winnings.
The wife liked that, so I continued. I never play cash games and I never play more than $6 tourneys.
Sure beats wasting my time playing scrabble or Golf where I don't win any money.
Poker is just a hobby for me and a great way to earn some extra cash.
I have never deposited my own money on any site.
I start with freerolls and work my way up.
