my name is grasianu and i'm a poker bankrupt,..trying to earn back my life .

I started like an inocet game...with new cards and old friends...and to be some bet there we played for a stake per night about 30$ ..not more..(even less) and the winner could gather about 150$ ..give some drinks for 50$,..and go home with 100$. This was a rule. Only that in time, i was the most luckyest ..and i usualy won about 1 night from 2 ...and it was great for me(i started to belive that i was a great player). Because one night i've lost 30$,..the next night i won 100$ and some friends (because the drinks were on me). So ..today like this,..tomorrow like that,..we ended up bringing new people in our small community of 5-7 old friends poker players. An some of that "new" friends started to invite me in other poker communities where the bet was raised at about 350-400$. and..if you were the winner belive me..it was a great night to go home with 2000$ in your poket. So in time,..we started not to play texas hold'em anymore ,..just 5 cards in your hand and you could maximum draw 3 cards and no flop down(i don't know how it is cald that kind of games). I say that i managed to raise about 15000$ under my bed if you know what i mean. Only that in this kind of game you could bring along during the game every amount of money(because we had no more chips, directly with money)(by the way..that's illegal in my country) . And from this "new" friendship i couldn't leave because they kept calling me and say "Hey,...i've lost last night about 1000$,...bring that amount so i can have the chanse to win it back" (this were the unwritten rules of our community). And some trappers came along in our community that won alot,... and alot,..today like this.. tommorrow i won 1000$ ..the next day i loose 2000$ ...and, the point is i never could say STOP,..from now on i won't play poker anymore. I've lost that 15 000$ poker money,. .and some amount that i don't want to discuss about.
Because wen i loose, i couldn't belive it,..and started borrow money to come again to get the amount i've lost, back.
Anyway ...its kinda difficult for me to explain all i've been thru, ...(in my country the minnimum wage is about 200$ ...and you cand think about how much money i've lost). But i'm glad i'm not playing anymore with my friends,..and i don't bring along money form home....C-ya!
