Have any of you watched those shows? I find those players to be impressive. I really like the guy who has been winning that game for months. He knows when to make a large bet. There are many times when he gets bad cards like the rest of the players. When he feels lucky, he bets nearly all his money on the table. There was a young guy who nearly beat him, but the champion was luckier.
I don't gamble because I know lots of people close to me who lost lots of money through that. There is one uncle who is a good poker player, but he wins very little money from it. On a good day (which rarely happens), he only wins about $200.
If I could play as well as the pros on t.v., then I'd be having a good time in the comforts of hotels in Las Vegas or Reno. Plus, this champion has good clothes, unlike my perception of most gamblers. It beats my life as a salesman. I sell lumber, doors, windows, etc. from a warehouse. I entered that job thinking that I could wait for someone to buy our stuff. It turns out that I have to go to them and beg for them to buy our lumber. I have always been annoyed with door-to-door salesmen but now I've become like them. I had more dignity as a carpenter. :wall:
