12. Who introduced you to poker?
I was dating a girl...her and her sister lived together and they were always talking about it and playing online or at the casino...so I of course thought "Im the best at poker" and started off online.... I wasnt as good as I thought LMAO!!! But after a few months of learning the strategys behind the game and reading over 10+ books on poker...I started to understand the faults and pit falls of the game..however it has taken me all 4 years to learn to manage my Bankroll....I only just learned to do this in the last 4 months..
