Paid your dues. Yeah, at 15 you've been through so much.

not like that...
geez...lets try to be somewhat smart
I mean, Im not some kid trying to just make money
Ive read, Im playing live, im being serious, im not throwing my whole bank account into this, im playing smart, I have a nice savings account, Im working hard, Im getting good grades, why not...come on mj, lets be reasonable

and to triple-t.....chris ferguson is a pro, he can do that....I do ok in freerolls
except the 200 US isnt showing up no more, so not looking good, and hubbles is the definition of retarded
also im not a degen
but whatever think what you want, I dont wanna be a troublemaker and this is not intended for that
the real question was....why my parents will let me play REAL money live but not online? its the exact same....its real money
this got so off topic

So I wasn't being somewhat smart? hmmmm, never been accused of that before.

We are being reasonable. You are 15 years old. You haven't even begun to pay your dues. And I'm not sure where you are from, BUT no matter where it is, it is illegal (or at least against terms and conditions) for you to play online poker. I'm not saying that people don't get away with it, but it's like if I complained because I couldn't rob a bank.


Anyone can do it.
You sure are acting like one.
I don't think you are a troublemaker. I'm just concerned about where this whole thing is going. You've mentioned staking twice, but qualified those statements with "but I'm not asking for one."
As a parent myself, I can say that it's their choice how far to allow you to go with the gambling. You should be thankful that you weren't my kid. You wouldn't be gambling at all until you were 18.

triple-t the smart comment wasnt for u
im not acting like a degen im just stating my thoughts and what I stand for
IM NOT ASKING FOR A STAKING, i really dont want one, but I know people that have told other people what the hell ill stake ya, but really I dont want one

....see this is the US law being retarded
you can drive at 15 and 16 and kill someone
but you cant gamble your own money until 18 and mostly 21? whats that about

I agree with this
But my parents are a little more leniant (sp?)
because of the fact on weekends 95% of kids even my age are getting drunk or getting high
and I chose not to
so they let me do more
but not this

But I prob wont let my kids gamble till they are at least 17 if not 18
I just think its odd I can play real live but not online when I have the money
and I can drive and kill someone but not gamble because the US laws and government is deedeedee (not intended to be about DeeYaka)

I can drive, carry a gun, drink alcohol (but not any of them at the same time), gamble all I want at a casino, but I can't send money to an online poker site. I agree that this government is whack, but there isn't a lot we can do about it at this time.

I know
sorry guys this started out as a rant
and got off topic
if i came off as a degen, then so be it I wasnt trying to
I just thought the unfairness was dumb
and how whack the US is...

I wish you all luck in your pokery
and hope to play along side most of you when its my time

it seems to me you have a gambling / addiction problem kidpoker

you want to deposit 50$ and play what ? 1-2$ tourney's?

Trust me, at that level, you will raise with pocket 10's mid position 4-5-6-7-8 times the BB you will get one caller (or more) with suited cards. Flop will be 10h-Ks-7h and you will bet huge on the flop even go all in, and some fucker will call you with 3h-6h and hit flush and 2 sec after you will complain here.

Play chips, low stakes, it's all full of shit and with 50$, you won't go anywhere.

The less there is on the line, the more people take chances. It's human nature. At this level it's "bah, what if ? "

I'll stick to live games if I were you, at least you seem to say you are a consistent winner.

Online, with a 50$ bankroll, you will be tilting like hell
