In the beginning

Flaws
One of the things you do when playing poker is to better yourself, by becoming a better player you win more money. And you get better by identifying flaws in your game. When you do identify a flaw in your game you rip it out, dissect it and find out why it's a flaw and how to put it right. When you have worked it out you put it back into your game and hope for the best. Well I have one (probably more than one) a big fat juice one and it's all APAT's fault. It's like having a mole on your face with hair growing out of it but when you look in the mirror you see a young good looking hansom smooth face looking back. So what's this flaw I here you all say, well let me tell you

I have to take you back to the beginning, not the beginning of APAT or the beginning of my poker career but further back, all the way back to the day I was born. Now allot of you will be saying that being born in the first place is a flaw but I will ignore those people and continue.
I was born into a gambling family, my dad gambled, my brothers gambled and also my mum and sisters. Don't get me wrong I'm not talking about gambling the wages away so there's no food or we couldn't pay the bills. I'm talking about Saturday afternoon, World Of Sport on the tell and dad having a bet on the horses or playing cards like pontoon, bus stop and find the lady. So right from an early age I was gambling. By the time I was in my teens I was out side the bookies asking people who was going in take bets in for me. By the time I was 15 I was going in the local pub, now that's when the real gambling started. Not me, but seeing other people come straight from work and loose the wages then having to borrow it back so he could give it to his Mrs. "What's this got to do with poker" I hear you say, stick with me.
