In the early days I played with Mike "the Mad Genius" Caro a lot. The game was 75 Raise Blind A-5 Lowball. He is such a goofy character. I always thought he was juicy for the game because he believed he needed to advertise his looseness in order to get value when he had real hands. Often times he spent so many chips advertising he could never cover his loses. haha.
Interesting to hear when you made the transition to become a winning player. I was fortunate enough to start early before going completely broke and degenerate. Thanks for sharing your story.
