Holy crap, my largest bankroll was between $400-$500 and only had about $70 on Full Tilt when they decided to keep our money. I also played on poker stars, but at least they let us withdraw funds before the ban.

I prefer no limit as well. That's the only way you can really apply pressure to your opponent.

I was reading in your thread today that you like to play poker, me too. How are you able to lift the cards off the felt? What stakes do you play? At the Tampa hard rock they have $1/$2 no limit and I'm not sure on the limit games. I've been there a couple times, but used to play a lot more poker online before the United States banned us.

Just curious, what level of injury are you? I'm C-5.

I lived in New Mexico for 10 years before moving to Florida in 2001. NM is where I had my injury and met my wife. I live not far from Tampa because I get my medical care at the Tampa VA and it's one of the best SCI hospitals within the VA system.

It is hot and humid most of the time and starts cooling off in the late fall. The summers really kick my ass so my outdoor activities are limited in the daytime. Fort Lauderdale should be nicer though because of the seabreeze. The more inland you are the hotter it feels.

Florida's a pretty diverse state, but you can tell you're still in the Bible Belt. I wish certain laws were a bit more relaxed here.

So are you moving down here by yourself or with family?

I live in Plant City. It's about 30-40 min. from Tampa and an hour from Orlando.

What part of Florida are you moving to? Florida winters are a lot more tolerable than up north, but the summers are pretty brutal. I'm from upstate New York originally and wouldn't mind being a snowbird if I could afford it.

Hi Larsen,
From what you say it seems like both of your parents are there for you, however they are not there for each other. Before people divorce they usually experience years of control dramas with each other. Your mom and your dad are still in the drama.

You can buy a house and obtain caregivers to help you, however your mom will probably continue her control drama with you. You may want to learn how to free yourself from their control by accepting mom as well dad as they are; human beings who do not know how to free themselves from their own control. Control produced conflicts which led to the divorce.

For you, your work is learning how not to counter control their control. By learning how not to enter the control dramas you will obtain your independence. Independence is obtained through acceptance of what is, not what should or shouldn't be.
Best wishes,
John
