Almost all of the well-known websites were available to play poker at that time. I didn't even think about a professional career, but I still had an interest in poker. It manifested itself in downloading all poker shows from torrents, watching nightly high-stakes battles on FTP and active participation in forum discussions. The latter did not go unnoticed by GipsyTeam, and since summer 2010 I have been a member of the site's editorial board.
