Default Re: Why I would quit my job if I won the Big One

to Mike28 and anyone else wrestling with these concepts (myself included) and how poker fits in,

I highly recommend "Ace on the River" by Barry Greenstein. I've just read it and I must say I was quite suprised as to how much time is spent on the philosophy of living life as a professional poker player. the morals and ethics involved and how he feels about taking money from Player 1, 2, and 3 are also covered.

As for poker content. I found some irrelevent (as I don't play low ball) and a bit of it over my head mathematically. But many of you would enjoy it.

Mostly I think I will reread the sections on how to balance life and poker, and still be a stand up guy.

Straight Flushes,

SAM
