Lo$t in the Gamble

This is how it all began. I started watching poker on T.V. and saw the W.S.O.P. 2003 on ESPN. I got hooked I watched the whole event. I even taped the world series to study the game.



Ok so this is what happened. I downloaded pokerstars and played with play chips because I wasn't old enough to play with real money. What I did was I watched the pro's play on the tables. I watched Andy Bloch is handle was Ace9ofClubs, even watched Chris MoneyMaker Money800 play, and I found Paul Darden St.Patrick who was taught by Phil Ivey the Greatest in the game today. Phil has racked up his 8th bracelet and you can look at his profile below.

Well i played with Paul Darden aka "The Truth" at pokerstars.com




I sat heads up with him and he went all in on the flop. I can't really remember the flop or what i had but I know he was making a move on me. So i said in the chat box

I'm going to lay this down out of respect



I eventually started taping the W.P.T. events and watched them over and over again. That year Gus Hansen a backgammon player started playing in 2003 and killed the competition with his aggressive, loose style of play that destroyed all the poker players in his field.


I even skipped school to read poker books. I remember going into homeroom and playing at partypoker. My friend John McGuin who is Blue belt in Gracie Ju-Jitsu. Me and his brother Tom and couple of other friends played home games all the time. I was a legend back in the day I won all the home games. I had a paul pierce celtics I wore and there is a story behind it. Since Paul Darden is the Truth I dubbed myself the Theli3y3. The jersey I wore all the time at the table and matching shades. What happened to the jersey is I gave it away to some homeless guy for some dumb reason I don't know why but i did.

By the way I'm from Norte Dame, In and I, at the time moved to Kansas City, MO. I traveled back to Indiana to my friend's apartment and everyone was stealing my money. So I looked in the closet to find a paul pierce kansas jersey and I stole it. My brother Micheal just recently had a baby and I gave the Jersey to him. Now I'm retired and I'm wearing 1984 jordan jersey because I retired from the game.
