While learning how to play poker from my son I realised that I had achieved my actual goal: reconnecting with my son! I did not realize, however, that at this point it was also mapping my future. We spent hours laughing and chatting and exchanging notes and I was truly learning something from my son I was falling in love with: poker strategy.
James, my son, found the time and location of a free roll league that played in our area and was keen for his parents to attend. I was so not ready to experience this poker game with live players, especially strangers so soon and I declined. Hours later James returned with his father who was showing an amazing grin of success; he placed second. The following week, nerves-tensed, stern-faced I walked into a new world of free poker players battling for minimal prizes that didn’t matter; it was the game that drew them together. At that point, my brain was mush; I had forgotten everything I’d been learning, adrenaline kicked in.
Then I won my first pot! It was then that I was hooked and my poker strategy paid off. It was like: wow, I want that experience again! It was fantastic!
For me a true passion was born and I was now thirsty to learn everything! Even poker rules from scratch to really strive hard and perform well in this poker world. I had found my destiny and my goal from there on was to become the best poker player I could be. That was hardly over two years ago and look where I am today!
