you seem to be taking this real well like it didn't happen

after you dropped it all did you just calmly get up and grab a cigarette or did you punch your comp out?

What good would that have done me?

In fact-what good would have doing anything pissy about it (other than making this post for your entertainment/as a cautionary tale)have done me?

Mr. Wolberg,

If I can get my online roll to 21K by the end of the summer you're on

And I'm not joking at all.

Sure. Get a job at your local Burger King and forget about on-line gambling.

Near Seattle, there used to be a small cardroom called the Hideaway. There was a floorman who worked there who also played in the games and bet sports with customers and was generally something of a degenerate. I will never forget the first time I cashed out $1k (a lot to me at the time) when I put the two racks of red on the counter and he asked me "flip for it, double or nothing?" I stared at him like he had two heads. He took out a coin and was clearly serious. I declined, but in hindsight I should have done it.

Well obviously

Also it should be noted that Leo's proposal-serious or not-stems from the fact that when I was chilling with him and a bunch of others in a hotel in suburban New Orleans following a quizbowl tournament and I played high card with some dude for $20

Also, some lightweight from the University of Chicago puked on some other dude's bed
