I first moved to Vegas in 98 .... really started playing then. Had played just kitchen table games before then.
I moved to Indiana for a 99 - Rounders had just come out and after I watched it I looked over to a friend of mine and said that in 5 years the World Series of Poker was going to be huge
Moved back to Vegas in 2000 .. played until about 2004 non stop .... then just stopped until less than a year ago - accidently started playing online and got hooked again.
