Recently one evening I decided to play a little Omaha on line with only 88 players. This is a small number in comparison to most on line tournament games. This night was very unusual because out of 88 players world-wide three of these player at MY table were from my town and not only that they all play at the same casino that I do. Now that is what I call a small small world. It is interesting to see players address's from all over the world. You never know they maybe next door or thousands of miles away.
I am now claiming a new title for myself. I am doing this since I have won several tournaments and placed in the money in many others to numerous to count. I am now declaring myself as a INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL POKER PLAYER (IPPP). Now does that look professional or not. Playing in a brick & mortar tournament with a few tables is KID's stuff. Do you want to be a real poker player then jump onto the internet and try your poker skills with some of the best in the world. You may think I am joking and pulling your leg but I am dead serious if you want to play some big time poker on a shoe string BUDGET. What are you waiting for? I am backing these statements up WITH proof of the number of on-line players now that have made it to the BIG money BRICK & MORTAR tournament. I personally played one night against a player that won the SAT (that I finished 5th) and he went on to win $275,000 at WSOP. So what are you waiting for to get yourself into the real poker world that has become very small. The real nice thing is no matter what budget you are on there is always a game for YOU!! If you are a beginner or a professional or just a lousy amateur like myself there is room for everyone. Please don't forget my new title is "IPPP"!!
