Hey Y'all Drunken Cowboy here wantin' to talk a little Poker History.....

[jaystr8maker]

Well Online Poker History, that is. its Barely even history. My Question for you is the same, whether ur a Trail Rider or a City Slicker...... What Years and Sites were you playing on in the Beginning of your Online Professional Poker Pro Career? yes Pro is in there twice. Thats how yuh know ur good, is what my Grand Pappy always used to say.

Also, ya gotta read my writin's (yes, it's pronounced and spelt "writin's) in a Florida kind a southern Cowboy Twang kinda thang.... not only is it fun, but that will represent me much better and we will resonate like beeswax and a bear. Whatever that means. (again, NOT in or near Florida at all in noway, shape or form). Keep in mind the more I drank the more I twang, And dang it we are Twangin' Tooo-day! Woo! Now what were we talking about... oh yeah

Where y'all started Vs. Where you are Playing now?​

​

For this Degen' it's Poker Stars then Vs. now, GGpoker, Coin, 888, a Damn Good VPN and damn near any site that gives no deposit bonuses - oh and for legality reasons: on devices that "live" outside of the USA Invisible border line of laws pertaining to online gambling and poker. ​

​

My Poker Stars days was in I guess the late 90's or Early 2000's Hard to remember that far back. What a time it was to be alive. We were on the edge of legalities in a fight for our Poker Rights (by the way we pretty much lost that war and by "we" i mean "you all, y'all Americans out there). Anywho Strangers, just droppin' some Quality Brain Meanderin' posts your way. Can't Wait to remember the ones that are gone..... like.....

BetZip!! who remembers them dudes? Monthly Membership Free Entry site... wasn't bad.... before it's time.

Cuddles, out on the water somewhere ( Not MIAMI FLORIDA) so in case any Poker Site Administrators are lurkin' around the forums looking for folk from countries that them there, don't allow. Sum Beaches.... and i'm outta Rum... feel free to send poker... er I mean.... Rum Money to $downtownprops justpullin' yur chain there, admins..

I finished this post at the exact same time I came in 394th on the Cards Chat FreeRoll over on 888. Not my best showing, Can't win 'em all. especially with all them dang 's & 's I was getting. No one can bluff there way out cold cards like I just had.

I feel perhaps we have crossed paths before.... hmmm..... 😏 But your posts are damn entertaining, so let's see where this goes...

I started wayyy back around 2003 or '04..? (can't quite remember), playing at Paradise Poker. To date, not one site could come close to what they offered back then, except maybe pokerstars. When Paradise blocked US users that became my new home for this not-so-pro pro. Being a member of CardsChat since 2005, I've played at MANY sites. A lot that have come and gone. I'll try to remember as many as possible:

Paradise
Noble Poker
Jet Poker
Pokertime
Titan Poker (and all the other affiliated sites)
Cherry Poker
Poker Host
Absolute Poker o)
Ultimate Bet
Lock Poker
Carbon Poker

Damn, I know there are more, help me out, guys!

But PS was my main room all along until GGpoker became the next giant.

Don't know Bodog, I presume it was an American cardroom like Bovada which still exists

Yeah, it was Calvin Ayre's site. It was decent.

yeah Bodog is actually Bovada, prior to Black Friday it was called Bodog, had to separate the US market to stay in business

That's right. Another site we can't play on anymore.
