I'd been getting my roommate into poker lately, and he wanted to see how he would fare online. I told him to jump onto Full Tilt (he set up his account of "deadmoondino")and try to win one of their National Heads-up Qualifier Freerolls.

I figured that either he'd burn out on it or get really into it and decide to make a deposit. I didn't expect he'd actually win the second or third one he entered!

I shipped him $5 on Full Tilt and told him to go enter tournaments with it and see how he does. First tournament he enters is a $2 180 man SnG, places 10 for $5.40.

I've always thought I'm a better teacher than a do-er.
