Haven't played it in years now though but it was good fun. Used to harbour dreams of going pro but I never made much money online from it. My brother was really good and made quite a few thousand but he had to retake a year of Uni because he was playing so much so he realised it wasn't good for him in the end

…hah, one of my son’s group of friends went through that poker thing during 6th Form days, it must be a part of a right of passage …well done to your brother although we DO NOT condone gambling of any kind…following on from that, though…one of my son’s friends did actually drop out of uni to become a pro poker player and travelled the world circuit as it were …he was a bit of a maths genius…he had one particular huge win that was in the National media because of his young age as well…anyway, long story short…he never promoted gambling to others in any glamorous life choice kind of way because for most big wins, there are many big losses etc…impressively he changed course and invested his money into a couple of businesses in Scotland and he really is doing so well with a more stable and steady earnings …
