I started playing poker when I was 8, my cousins and I use to sit on our grandparents and uncles laps and (help them) bet and rake pots. I come from a big family so the games were always running back in the 80's. I remember sitting on my Grandfathers lap and watching him bluff all the time and the first time he bluffed he winked at me before I could open my mouth to ask why he would bet with nothing, Remember I was 8!! From that moment on it's been every type of card game. We use to play 7 stud and no peek for our baseball cards and allowances. We created a ton of games, played a ton of pots and hustled a ton of money in school. By 13 I had my own book making business. We had a game running 5 days a week at Franks house, they would buy in or borrow from me to play, if they lost they owed me +25% vig. The game ran for about 5 years, It was a blast.
