Just a little article on a professional poker player's life

Nothing earth-shaking in it. But it's nice to see professional poker being mainstreamed a little.

he must be some kind of friggin Donk to take a $65k roll down to $1700.

If I ever showed that POS to my wife, she'd never let me play again.

That article encompasses all her worst fears rolled into 1.

My wife e-mailed this article to me. It was all about damage control after that. In fairness to the earstwhile poker player in the article, it is Cero, one of the HSNLHE posters at 2+2 that actually makes sense and is not a total ass. Long thread in the zoo about this article. He does have some obvious tilt and money management issues.

When I play a patient and relaxed game I win - that simple.
