Senior year of high school I go on spring break to the Bahamas. There is a casino with a full poker room about a 2 minute walk from our hotel. Having just turned 18 less than a year, i am super excited to play my first No Limit hold em (i had played limit at an indian casino throughout the year). I play and play alot. I meet a nice guy who happens to be from a different detroit suburb about 40 minutes from where I live. We exchange numbers, etc. Vacation ends, and he calls me to invite me to his home game. At .5/1$ and 40$ min buy in it is slightly larger than the home games my friends and I have been playing for about about the previous year. I become a member of his home games and play about 20 times over the next number of months. We go to college and go our separate ways. I somewhat keep in touch with the original guy I met in Bahamas, and meet up with him a couple of times at Soaring Eagle in Mt. Pleasant and MGM in Detroit. But we talk only sparingly.He sends me an IM randomly the other day. Do you remember my buddy Joe Cata. No I dont, why? Hes at the final table of the Main Event, and he used to be a regular in our home game!I saw pictures online and unfortunately I do not remember him specifically. However, it is pretty cool that I played .5/1$ with a potential WSOP main event champion only a few years ago.

Sounds like someone worked on his game more than someone else.Just kidding! That is pretty cool.
