As tough as it can be to manage bills sometime, I'd never trade the sense of accomplishment I get knowing that I've worked hard for what I own. There's nothing quite like it.

what is the one thing you are most proud of owning?

You people seem to fail to realize that poker isn't about luck. You can win a poker hand without even looking at the cards if you're good enough.

Go rent (or pirate) the movie Rounders.

You're an idiot.

You lack that kind of skill.

That's why I'm 2-2 in tournaments, finishing on the bubble in those two non-wins.

Get back to us when you've managed to work that out. Until then, own up to the fact that what you're doing is nothing more than a lazy cash-grab, one with next to no real yield at this point, and one that pales by comparison to a full-time job.

It's just, like, 1200 miles. I wouldn't take this lightly. :/

I really wish Ray came in with some sort of deep rabbit hole joke. Gotta go.

huh?

Oh, sorry, killing stuff.

And rolling around naked on $9 spread out on my matress.

Legally, poker is classified as a game of skill. Which is why the IRS takes taxes out of winnings.

Excuse me, DECLARED winnings.

Well, I don't own it, but the house is the thing I'm most proud of. I take care of my mom you see, and when I pay the rent each month, I'm putting a roof over her head for another month, and knowing that I made that happen is a good feeling.

Yeah, online tournaments are a joke. I know 12 year olds that have won them. You aren't playing skilled players. Shit, I have even won a few tournaments.

Good slave, be happy.

I wish I got that sense of accomplishment from working. I only get a sense of accomplishment from making things............................................ .................................................. ..............................................

Maybe I should make things for a living?

and once this $9 becomes $100, I'll start playing tournament that pay $45 for wins. You gotta start low.

They don't tax all winnings as far as I know. Isn't it just a gift tax?

Honestly, it's not necessarily the work that brings that sense of accomplishment, but the results of said work. When I get that paycheck every week, and I can pay for the things I need to, it gives me a sense of fulfillment.

Well, you got that nailed, eh?
