i started at the play money tables as well, when my dad realized that i was actually beating the game easily (i know play money is somewhat a joke but still...) he gave me 20 bucks to see how i'd do... i've never looked back since... i've made a LOT of money online.. but its almost worthless to play now because of all the legislation... all the donators have left and the games are very tough... i still grind it out a bit but i'm not making anywhere near what i was making 6 months ago
