Were you making money? You know what, I played in the brick and mortar casinos until about 2001. And that's when I discovered online poker. When I left the brick and mortar scene for more online, I can't really gauge whether I was a winning player or not. I remember walking out of the casino with $1,500 or $2,000 in my pocket and other nights walking out at five o'clock in the morning stone cold broke. So, I remember a lot of nights saying, 'Holy shit, you just blew your week's earnings.It wasn't until I started playing online, to be honest with you, that I discovered I wasn't as good as I thought I was. I think a lot people have one of two reactions to online because it's so fast that any sort of leak that you have in your game is going to be amplified dramatically. So, they're either going to think that 'Oh, online is rigged.' Or they learn that they might be making mistakes and start adjusting to it. So, I started losing money really quickly online and started making adjustments to my game and kind of leak-proofed my game. What was the point when you 'went pro?'casino Well, I moved to Toronto from Calgary because of family circumstances, back in 2002. My intention was, when I moved from Calgary back to Toronto, to start up another coffee company and keep on working. So, I had a personal upheaval that point in time and I just started playing. Shit I played online poker for three months probably 16, 17 hours per day.
