My Start In Playing NLHE

Next week my b&b experience.I have been playing poker for about 3 years now. I started in home games with family and friends. I shared the buy ins with my sister-in-law Lynne. They would let us play together, I think everyone thought were really didn't add up to 1/2 a person with our knowledge of poker so they allowed us to be one. We each would put in our $10 and be set to play. We'd whisper in each others ears what we thought we should do when our cards were delt. At first we would ask questions and everyone was friendly but then after a few games and no improvement they said if you want to play spend time learning away from the table. Lynne would leave the table and socialise in the kitchen and leave me to play by myself. This made me nervous because I was playing with her $10 and didn't want to lose it. So that started me questioning my husband about hands and position folding and raising and so on. I was showingf improvement and by this time L ynne wasn' t making to the games and I started to play by myself and I was really becoming a competative force at the table. My husband and I share poker as an interest and he is very supportive and really treats me equal. At one point I was really worn down phsicaly and my husband was adament about us not going to the Saturday poker night at my brothers. He wanted me to stay home and rest. He was right but of course I was longing for poker. Out came the computer and our first online deposit. I think I have played every day since then. Our first week together we won almost 1k. My first really big win was when I was playing on pacific poker. They sent me $10 to play on their site and I turned that into around $977. OMG what a rush.....I remember the movie Rocky was playing in the background. How ironic! I've had many more winnings since then but never quite that sureal. Oh wait maybe the APLady $1k shopping spree....
I work on my game everyday, I am trying to take myself to the next level. My focus has been off the past year, my Mom was battling lung cancer. She lost the battle, but lately I feel her presence in me so strong, its like I feel her strength helping me change my game for the better. I love playing on the internet. I am shy and not very confident so I think it's been good for me to beable to work on my game and build that confidence right in my own home.
But last month I found out our local casino has a ladies night ever third Thursday. I have no women in the area that really know how to play so I just took a deep breath and went.......
