Good luck J Slice. Thanks for posting your story man, I can relate to you in many ways. I used to play poker for fun live with my friends, then I got really interested in online poker when I started playing FullTilt. I actually lost over a thousand dollars first because I didn't know what I was doing, so I started reading articles and books. I played with playmoney on FT and got my play money bankroll up to 12 million. It was at the high stakes play money tables that I learned to play good poker and met some really cool play money regulars. ha. Anyways, I had to take a few years away from online poker due to school and life, but now I'm back and working on building a bankroll on carbon from freerolls too. So I hope you are able to succeed, and that one day we can play each other at a real money table!
