Starting out

Poker always made me think of old men sitting around a table, smoking and shouting things like "I'll see your fifty and raise you 400!!". So when my boyfriend asked me if I wanted to start playing I was slightly intrigued by the idea and said a tentative yes.

I'm ultra competitive by nature. Even when I was younger, playing tennis with my family I HAD to win. My brother was the same and you can imagine the arguments that caused.

So I thought, what the hell, I'll put my competitive spirit to good use and have a game of online poker.

I'm playing at www.pkr.com and entering the 10 cent free giveaways, so far I've won one game, and have a grand total of 6 cents. woooo!!! And the ultimate aim is to win $1,000.

It seems a long way off, and even the first few games I've played have caused great rage in my head.

But follow my progress here. First up tonight is a $5 Rebuy Freeroll. I play under the name SnowyA.
