First: Don't type in all red.

Second: Kill yourself.

So cruel, yet I couldn't help but to laugh out loud when I read this.

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

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.

[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]Huh? Isn't this what you're complaining about though, the fact that you can't play 'cause you're too young? If you can probably get some money in an account then do it, or don't do it. Whatever you want.

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

Enjoy it while you can! Before you know it, you will be cramming for your mid-terms and not getting any sleep. Then you will be crying how tough that is. Then you will get a "real" job, have to commute, get there on time, do what your boss says, etc.

Later you will get married, have children and be resonsible for them - try taking care of a baby for years! Dude - you have it made. Anybody over 25 will tell you the same thing. When you grow up a little you will find this all to be true - and you will say "man, I wish I was 18 and had no responsibilities again."

Your gonna regret not getting laid especially when your 25 and a poker bum. Maybe you'll be making 100k a year, maybe more if your really good. But paying for cheap las vegas hookers isn't going to make up for those memories you missed out on. Especially the nice young ............. , need i say more. Your 18, have fun. And chess will ruin your life worse than poker - stay away!

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.
