Hi all.
My name is Sabr, i'am 19 years old and i live in a small town in Denmark called Kalundborg.
Right now i'am not going to school or anything, but soon that will change. So now i just sit at home and play computer, both counter-strike and poker, but mostly poker.
I have played poker for 5-6 months in all, and u start to learn how other players think and can spot an bluffer and so on, thats great. But my plans is to continue playing untill the day i can live of playing poker, and i dont think thats impossible. You just have to practise and practise, and then someday you will win a big prize, and thats what i'am going for.
Right now i only play on PokerStars, but i have played at PartyPoker, but that suck. The minimum deposit was 50$ but at PokerStars its only 10$, thats amazing.
The wins i've made is not so impressive, i have won 1 tournament, and that was here a couple of days ago at PartyPoker, the day before i deleted it. I won 88$ but had to put 50$ in just for that i can do the cashout, then i decided to try win more with the 88$ i allready had, and i tok 20$ and got op to 90$ then i had allmost 160$ in all, but then i started loosing them all, and didn't really care, that sucked pretty much.
Now i try to play more carefully, even if there is 10000 players and it's a freeroll i will only go in with the really best hands, and i think thats the way to being good at poker.
**Now there is something i want to say about my blog yesterday, it was a mistake and i was just a bit mad because i couldn't play the tournament, and i fully understand your reqs for participating at the Railbirds tournament freeroll, and i accept it now. So sorry for yersterday.
That's all for now, i want to hear some radio(pretty cool music you got on your railbird radio).

Nice apology, I accept.
May the folp be with you and the river never cause you sorrow !
Actually Party Poker is like Kiddie Poker. I started playing there and then they banned United States residents from playing. That was several years ago. I switched over to Full Tilt poker, and I found the games much more challenging. Two regrets. I wish I would have known about rake back programs before I joined both sites. I also wish Party Poker was still open to me because I won about $4,000,000 in play chips when my accout was closed. Then I joined Railbirds after a lengthy observation. When I found that there was no short or long con going on at this site, I put a lot of time in here. Shortly later I joined Poker Stars. I am not a big joiner. First I need to see that it is not a scam, and second I need to see that I am not being used for purposes that I don't approve of.
As cautious as I am, I learned that Full Tilt Poker has a rake back program that allows players to regain up to 37% of their rake. When I was playing freerolls and the occasional small stakes table that didn't matter much to me. When I won some money and started playing small stakes tables with a big rake and lost most of my bankroll, it made a big difference. After losing almost $200.00 at the low stakes tables, I realized that I spent nearly $100.00 on rake. That's when I decided that the $37.00 was actually valuable. I spent another $100.00 on rake losing only $50.00. Even though I improved my game enough to beat the low limits. Albiet, only slightly, I still didn't win enough to beat the rake. A true winner would not have the same problem. I was just good enough to be a slow loser. I knew I was still learning at the time, so I figured that I could handle the slow loss, but there was no way I could handle the rake. If I had had the $72.00 rake back, I might have continued with the site. Now I only play the freerolls there and the no rake tournaments that they hold.
I've got about $49.27 right now. From what I understand, you need at least $50.00 to make a withdrawl. I only play there about 1 or 2 times a week, but when I hit the magic number, I will definately consider withdrawl. Unless they change their rakeback rules to include people like me. People who play at the lowest limits and the highest rakes!
And welcome to the site, hope you enjoy!
