I've heard it from Josh and some of his friends. They consider it more of a "sport" than a game of luck. <br /><br />I feel sorry for your dad, but I'm glad you didn't end up like him.

I, for one, am far more prepared to sit down at any table and understand the dynamics and complexities - and able to eek out value (and sometimes not so much :-( ) from places where other players may not.

With regard to the Iron Man challenge, I think it's a fine line between goal-setting and it just not being worth it. In retrospect you may conclude that the promotions were a huge waste of time, much like all casino offers and promotions. However, it did provide incentive and motivation to get you to clock more hours and spend more time Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-51745537927205162032013-09-19T13:46:41.704-04:002013-09-19T13:46:41.704-04:00Yeah - I've tried over the years to stick to j...Yeah - I've tried over the years to stick to just factual information and none of the personal stuff.

I agree that on-line rewards could make it somewhat addictive and I have said that getting away from on-line has probably helped my game tremendously. yeah I was banging out 2500-3k per month a lot of months but for the amount of time I put in I am making way more playing live.<br /><br />Good to keep things in perspective!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421856454182439468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-43008562612614433872013-09-19T11:28:59.092-04:002013-09-19T11:28:59.092-04:00I heard a bit of dialogue in a British radio-play ...I heard a bit of dialogue in a British radio-play that I did not think many listeners would get.<br /><br /><br />Wife: I suppose you were out so late last night losing money at roulette?<br /><br />Husband: I'm not an idiot.

I can't believe how much time I spent playing.
