Playing poker and investing (part 1)

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

I play alot of Texas Hold'em poker as a hobby.  I never thought about it as a business until I met my friend Bill who plays professionally.  He is convinced that if I work hard at it that I can make four or even five figures a month.  I'm sure ...

More Poker Thoughts

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

With my recent article on "Playing/Investing not to lose" and comments about PF bloggers and saving, I thought I'd post about an online cash game that I was watching a few nights ago. A few days ago my friend tells me that Phil Ivey is playing on FullTiltPoker.com.  He tells me ...

Days 3-6 on the Bonus Trail

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

Well one thing I've learned is that these casinos take your money very quick and give you your money back real slow. I made that $855 at casino 3 and requested a cashout on August 3rd. It's Saturday and I still haven't even seen the request in my Neteller account. ...
