I'm 18, I play online for money and did so when I was 17.

ditto. I started at 17.

It's really very easy, but if you're not smart enough to work it out, I doubt you're smart enough to win at poker.

Yep. I'm 17 now, and I've been playing online since August. Like someone else said, just pay a friend cash and have them transfer you money at a site. If you can't register because you're underage just sign up under a parent's name (If they dont like it, do it without their knowledge. I'm sure you do other things that they don't know about and also don't like.)

but i dont have a credit card, or a checking account to freely throw money in my account,

Go down to your local branch and open a free checking account. You really need to anyway.

Dude you need to get a fake and get in the WSOP ASAP! You are obviosly the best player ever.

Seriosly thoough, i was the same way when i was like 16-17. And I simply had my friend who was 18 open an account and i gave him money to put in it. Now that Im 18 and have multiple accounts my 15 yr old brother plays on one of my older ones all the time...its really not hard to get an account if you put your mind to it instead of whining like a frickin baby, why dont you put in some effort if you really want to play. Or just read and study the game for a month so you are ready to actually win when you turn 18. Also, Im not sure where in CA you live, but the san diego area has plenty of indian casinos and to quote another 2+2er (the one with the my little pony avatar, ya him [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) "Commerce NEVER cards." So you could try going there too.

I didn't know that studying for a month instantly made you a winning player.

LOL, I didn't mean to imply that it would...but it would certainly help. And I think basically by reading SSH and applying the concepts, anyone with half a brain should be able to beat the low limits at party.

I just saw your info that says St. Cloud MN/San Diego. You ever watch the River Bats play in St. Cloud? They were one of the teams in my summer league a couple years ago. Oh, I also live in San Diego now.

The original post in this thread is just awesome. I wish I was that good at tourneys.

I've seen Commerce card a few times.

For the real young, if you do go to the Commerce, be sure you don't get carried away and try to order booze. They will card you if you look too young. And then, if you are too young to be playing, you might have to leave the casino just because you got silly and tried to push your luck.

Thats a good point, getting a beer is definately not worth the risk of gettin kicked out.

oh, and be sure to NOT hit a jackpot, or you may have some not very happy asians waiting for you in the parking lot.

I find the way alot of people respond to posts like this (ie original post) very arrogant and rude. Yes the guy doesnt know alot about poker, but he knows the same amount that everyone else on this forum once knew in their life. He has an obviously high level of enthusiasm for the game, and has come to this forum seeking advice. Not to be shotdown by smart little answers by people who want to show off that they know more than him. You make fun of how he is immature etc, but really they are the qualities shining through your hilarious posts.
