I've been playing poker for about 24 years. I learned from an old black man who had been dealing for years. He dealt cards around the table haphazardly and starting telling me which ones he wanted to see me play as well as those I shouldn't play. I try to play good cards the majority of the time, but I will surprise sometimes. I play in local casinos occasionally, but mostly for fun online. I'm an avid gardener as well as antiques dealer.
