Fair enough, but this strikes me as a compliment, and I doubt you meant it that way.

Uhh, the word hustle doesn't neccessarily have pejorative undertones. Great businessmen, succesful lawyers, others at the tops of their fields all have hustle. They see good opportunities and they seize them. I understand that poker players are lazy in general. Otherwise they'd be out doing something productive. I'm a little bit lazy too, but I know a good deal when I see one and I know when its time to take advantage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Right, but when you say 'poker players are supposed to be the world's best hustlers,' you don't mean (or don't sound like you mean) point-guard hustle. You mean con-man hustle.
The former is not my premier talent, but I admire it a great deal. The latter is beneath me.

lol at distinguishing great businessmen/successful lawyers and poker players hustles. They both do the same thing, one group just does it in a suit.

Hustling as anacardo puts it: point gaurd hustle/hard work is nothing to be admired in itself in my book

I definitely don't want to get into a price war with my rival in Glendale. Maybe I should email him, tell him I'm onto his game, and that for $250 I won't enter the market. Would that be illegal?

This would be hilarious. Do it and write TR please!

I'm against con-man hustle as well. I never said anything about con-man hustle. You just read that in yourself. Probablly has to do with your worldviews and background beliefs. I was saying that the 'haters' don't have hustle because they discourage/don't take advantage of very ethical $$$ making opportunities.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal and anti-competitive.

I'm guessing its easier to sell cheap stuff @ first until my rep is built? I mean I would never buy anything from a brand new seller who hasn't legitimately sold anything yet. There's ppl out there who take the risk?

anacardo did, kind of by default, you said that biz/lawyers have hustle (the good kind), he said that there is a diff between good and bad hustle, and Im saying that most lawyers/business men have a lot of con-men hustle in them. maybe I misread though.

Nah.

This assumes it's a sure thing, which everyone agrees it isn't.

More to life than work and making money, and OP already indicated he makes a good living but doesn't have all that much free time.
