One day Fortyfives was not being played it was poker THNL, so I watched the first game ..like ok whatever, then 2nd game I played and won it lol My friends were tipsy that i won, so i was on them like "wat rookie of the year" I played 5 games and cashed in 3 of them. We split the pot to start another game....,,
.. then I got on pokerstars ,because a few of my friends had accounts there and had said good things about the site. I've been playing on and off, like 2years but now I'm serious about this game. It is so fun and intense.

Thanks for sharing Lurock. Good read.

One of my coolest memories is getting to the final table of a random $4.40, 180 seat SNG and TA DA! Lurock's there!
