Hey everyone! My name is John Smith and I’ve been a poker enthusiast for years! I began playing free online games a few years back, and it quickly became my favorite pastime. I have been reading poker blogs for years, so I wanted to introduce myself and profile.

I come from London, England and grew up playing classic poker with the guys. It wasn’t until I was in my thirties that I started playing online. At first, it was just for fooling around. I’d play some free online games to kill time and see the kind of scores I could get. A year ago, I began playing at the bigger tables and putting my skills to the test. At first, the going was rough. Making money on the game wasn’t easy, and I began focusing on my stats too intensely. It wasn’t until my friend reminded me that this was my fun time away from work, that I started to relax and improve my play.

One of the best ways I found to improve my game was via research. Although free online games don’t require any intensity, if I wanted to start making some real money in the game, I had to put in the time. I read books and began following poker blogs to get an idea of what I needed. Slowly and with practice, I improved my skills. This gave me confidence to leave my free online games and play for the jackpot. Today, I am so glad I did because I am raking in the cash!
