KappaKid83 0 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 My guess would be to put up some results in some smaller tournies, get yourself noticed, prove yourself. JEFF Link to post Share on other sites

Sign me up!sorry if my spelling wasn't right on, spent the last 48hrs in a hospital for my sons operation.you know, i can't believe there are such cold hearted idiots in the world.**** everyone like you you ****ing idiot.don't really care about the money anyway, just want to play poker.man oh man, what a disappointing experience on this site so far with people like that.narcosleep Link to post Share on other sites
