First of all thank you for your nice comment / support and please apologize my late reply. Following your blog now.
I do advice not playing for money, at least not if you don't really know the game and if you can't handle the loss, but besides that - Poker is awesome.
I think it's important to learn the basics before starting to play cash games. However the "real thrill" comes out of the chance to win vs. lose your real money ;-)
Thanks for the reply and for the follow :) And I guess that's true, I hope one day I become good enough at poker and I feel confident to play for a small amount of money, enough to make me care about winning or losing, and be able to feel that "real thrill" myself :)
