I got interested while in college, when my buddy and I started watching WPT on travel channel. Of course, all the
Pokerstars advertisements and loved the prospects of winning money for free (yeah I thought that qualifying for that round 2 tourney where only the top 9 paid was awesome). Played on there for a bit, then stopped for a few months. Later on I started up again once I was playing poker in the dorm rooms and the rest is history.
