Things I know NOW that I wish I knew when I was NEW.

nice one pimp

Very good info overall. Thanks for the write up

Amen, brother! The hard-earned lessons are the ones that stick with you.

I wish I had signed up on poker rooms through pokerowned so I could get the discount coupons.

Thanks for the info..... ahh hindsight. See you at the tables!

Thank you greatly for taking the time to post this very beneficial post for I'm sure tons of forum members, both old and new. It's nice to have at least a blog to read that explains the basic logistics for starters as if not then people could potentially get too discouraged to ultimately not play at all. Thanks again and best of luck both on and off the felts, always. *hugs*

Thanks this post helped a lot.

Now I know that when you 'win' a coupon in Carbon and it says "Coupon Does Not Expire"...or "No Expiration Date"..it's not totally true. Last month I won 2 tickets to the 250k games and I was waiting for a decent time to register for them. :( Well, the promotions ended..and so did the coupons that "did not expire." Now I know what I didn't know before! :)

Great list, thanks for the information.
