The tough world of being 18 and being addicted to poker...
 

<font color="red"> hello all,

Hi. I need some help here. I love poker. See, the problem is, im just about to turn 18 in about a month. Ive done about 5-7 home games, with guys ages ranging from 48-17. Out of all the TOURNAMENT home games ive played, ive won all but maybe 1 . See, and these just arent with the same sucky guys. I can honestly say im a good poker player, especially for my age. My problem is, is that i really cant take it anywhere else but that. I play alot of online poker, but i dont have a credit card, or a checking account to freely throw money in my account, 1 because i dont have a career (if you know what im saying) and 2 because im not old enough. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] So as far as online goes, im left with UB freerolls. I have played on my friends pokerstars account once, where i played in an EPT dublin sattelite where the top 2 go to the super sat. WEll of course i got 3rd out of like 200 so that made me feel grand. And you guys know how much poker freerolls suck because there is 2.5 million people in them and they just call and bet on anything. Plus, you have to get in the top top to actually win anything. Now i can easily get in the top 10% 80% of the time, its just man. its such a waste of time. And you know, i could go on and on about how much it sucks. My other option is indian casinos, but there is like 3 in california where you can be 18 ( which im going to the chumash on my b-day). so in other words it sucks. I probably could find a way to get some real money in my online account, but thats about it. So, thats my situation. Anyone in the same boat as me? Anyone have any ideas ( besides getting a fake id, hehe ) ? know of any good tournys where you only have to be 18? It sure does suck watching the world series of poker knowing that you cant get there until another 3 years....

CHOW!</font>

This post has to go down as one of the funniest that I've read. That quote makes me laugh out loud.

Dude, grow up a little. Go to some parties, get laid, get some good grades and go to school. Poker will still be there... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You can get free checking w/ no min deposit from Wachovia. Then use NetTeller to put your $$ on Party Poker and PM me your handle...

What do you want? A cookie?

As per your question, you don't necessarily need a credit card, you can use a check card that you can usually get for free with a free checking account at a local bank. Put a hundred bucks in a free checking account, put $50 of it into Party, Stars, UB or whatever, and go from there.

You are certainly lying. Probably you are a bad player, too.

Is there anything better than all the 18 yr old poker "pros"?

Answer in white:
<font color="white"> Yes. Once these pros get some serious cash, poker will be even better. </font>
