Better poker than drugs, right, but still this tilts me pretty hard. Not that you made it, obv, but the fact that online poker makes it possible to be playing for real money vs. kids (not you, but similar stories probably exists). I haven't read every post in your well, but I hope, when looking back at this, you see how bad this is for a) you, b) the industry) and c) every villain you meet. I for one don't like the idea of playing vs. 11 y/o kids....... It's really up to the gambling sites and not the kids obv, as kids will be kids and don't know any better, but ffs, no-one would've cared one bit if you'd ****ed up instead of winning and had to sell your body for lunch money to the yum yum janitor

Yuk at ppl staking kids, but congrats on becoming a solid player at 14. When I was 14 I probably could masturbate with skill, but sucked at everything else and no way would've been able to learn a skill based game like poker. What was your biggest leak while being so young? Tiltcontrol?

Solid advice

Try South East Asia for taste. It's ****ing amazing and being 18 y/o you'll find plenty of scandinavian tail to run after (swedes, ftw, ainec
