Re: CBS Article on 18 yr old poker millionaire. Pretty funny
It worked for now. Trust me the way he is caring on tapoutville will be inevitable. What normal 18 year old could get into severe debt and get a moment of clarity before they learned how to win? This story will have a sad end to it before it's all written and done....... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

Re: CBS Article on 18 yr old poker millionaire. Pretty funny
From the article:
[ QUOTE ] Know When to Walk Away With a wide-screen wireless Toshiba laptop tucked under his arm, Jordan wanders the house like a diviner in search of water—only he's seeking the source of his good luck. Sometimes he "feels it" in his mom's study, a room garishly decorated in tiger-themed paintings, leopard-skin-pattern candles and stuffed giraffes. Sometimes the vibe radiates from the casino room, a rec area furnished with a homemade blackjack table and stacks of ebony casino chips. Today he's getting signals from the living room. [/ QUOTE ] I got dizzy tring to count up all the things wrong with that paragraph.
