Today, i celebrate my 1 year in TJ as TTJ_JackSaint. Jack Saint is as near as it can get to my real name. I'm from the Philippines, although it took a lot of 'nosebleeds' from the first people i played with (Tambay and his cronies), before they found out I'm not an alien, as I preferred speaking in English as part of netiquettes i've learned since the early days of internets and chats.
I find it amazing that a poker site such as TJ can get you a lot of friends online. From the time i started till now, people have started calling me terms of endearment like papa jack, sir jack, jacky, papi, etc. Even though it shows my age, I still like it as it shows they at least like me enough to call me in a more personal manner. I also enjoyed meeting some of the players personally and i have to say it has always been fun and the people, awesome. Well just to give you an idea, this papa is happily married and has one grandkid w/ another one coming this November, a son and 3 daughters. I started w/ computers when a 16MB hard disk was as big as a laundry machine. I used to be a techie until some wise guy found out i was too overpaid as one and moved me to management.
I've been a helper for sometime now, and I don't know which one I enjoy better, being able to help people, or playing poker. I enjoy meeting newbies, and enjoy seeing them graduate from newbies to millionaires. It's also nice to see players graduste from mutes and suspensiosn to ladies and gentlemen behaving properly and helping keep the rooms clean from rowdy players. I still wish i can help TJ and the players more.
I wish TJ and all its players all the best. May our tribe increase (c'mon, get all our friends and families into TJ) and may TJ remain the best online free poker site in the internet.
Thank you and more power.
