A game that has a large debate on whether it is a game of luck or skill. The truth is that it is both. Both components play into your result in a cash game or tournament. Of course the more skill you have, the less luck plays into the outcome but AA on the button can always get cracked by 7 2 off suit end felt you hard.
I am 18 and in Canada so i am only recently getting into playing for real cash and have made a small profit so far and can appreciate many different aspects of the game. I mostly play online because i don't like going to the casino alone, the people at my local one are not particularly friendly.
I one day hope to be the all time leader of WSOP bracelets which at the time this article is being written is 14 held by Phil Hellmuth. I cannot yet play at WSOP as the minimum age is 21. I do plan on achieving this goal as i do plan on becoming a multi billionaire. Failure is not an option and even at 18 i am able to cash at a lot of large mid stakes online tournaments.
The game has me on my toes at every step and mentally makes me stronger. The game causes us to use our heads to beat opponents and rack in nice cash prizes that make me go crazzzzzzzzzzy.
Keep grinding my friends, see you at the top :D
