I'm also apparently a degenerate gambler who spends all his student loan money on poker.

Re: Why I don\'t tell people I play poker.
Last night I was talking to a guy who had a home game from a few years ago. I mentioned that I'm playing 400NL and how my friends play 40/80 at the bellagio and some have played as high as 1k/2k.
Next part of the conversation goes like this. Him: "Yeah that's crazy. Highest I ever played was like... 20/40... and it was only for a little bit." Me: "Oh yeah? You bought in for like 1k or something?" Him: "Uh.. yeah, but then I stopped." Me: "Yeah, you need like 12k to play that right" Him: "...yeah, it's crazy." I get tired of these broke ass kids thinking they're baller because they play cards with their buddies.

wife kicks ass
I suck at golf but I was betting $250 a side getting 9 strokes a side. She called me on hole number 8 and asked what I was doing and I told her I was losing our son's college fund getting 9 a side for 250.
Her reply was,"at 9 a side all she can tell me to do is to double the bet and quit [censored] around" She doesnt gamble at all but has lived with me for 20 years. She has finnaly figured it out. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
