Playing poker since ~16.
i learned the rules and a very tiny bit of strategy of 5 card-draw at a very young age, and i certainly liked it :D.
i played a bit of holdem in highschool, and
started playing freerolls. in college i read harrington and learned about tournament play; i "busted" 2 or 3 br from hubbles (2$ or something).

i found pokerstrategy 20 days after i turned 18, and started playing ss on titan... then, i LEARNED sss, and continued playing in that awful site.

then i won a LAPT freeroll and now im growing up in the limits :D on pokerstars untracked :(

thanks a lot PS, my only teacher in <ring> cash games (i tried with sklansky but i couldnt).
