The problem with being a winning player

[Webster]

I use to have fun with my computer - I used to play Links and be on a tour. I use to play baseball.

Now - everytime I'm on the computer I feel I'm wasting money. One round of Links now costs me $8. A game of football costs me $16.

I'm sure this is how pros feel and is a good reason to NOT become a pro. guilt!

You should go outside more and see that big bright thing in the sky more often.

[whiskeytown]

no way man...that thing burns when I stare in it too long...

without the haze of a smokey poker room, it's just too damned hot and shiny

I remember when I was playing live games with seat rental charges per half hour, I calculated how much it cost me to go take a pee. And I think I saved 70 cents if I didn't wash my hands.

One time I had to pee while 2-tabling so I decided to get up and make a run for it. As I was halfway out the door it was time for the new hand... so I took a look. I had KK and won a $267 pot. I now keep an empty milk jug to pee in so that I don't miss any hands.

(just kidding about that last part. /images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Wireless works GREAT for that /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have my laptop handy in case I need to pee. When you log into your account from another computer, it automatically opens up your tables. If I gotta go, fire up the laptop and set it on the bathroom counter. Use your free hand for the trackpad. Also, you should be able to play games and poker at the same time, I have played Halo and a single-table simultaneously.

I can pee six tabling and I have to run up a flight of stairs...you need a five minute window to time it right though. It's like that double dutch jump rope thing, Glenn used to do in school.

[Duke]

I can easily pee while 7 tabling. You need to time it perfectly, though.

My goal is to be able to piss and get myself a drink/snack without missing any hands. Laptop seems to be the way to go. I can hook up my 16" Sony Vaio via wireless at 1600x1200 resolution and go play while in the pool or something. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Anyone ever played on the beach? That's my ultimate fantasy, to quit my job, travel around the world with my laptop and lay on the beach all day and make money.

[luckycharms]

My whole campus is wireless this fall. I'm just gonna lie in my hammock between classes multitabling while girls swoon over me.... and i sip martinis.... served by my professors

That would be following in the footsteps of Matthew Hilger.

Another variation:

bring your laptop INTO THE CASINO, get a table near the wall, and jump back and forth between live and online. That wouldn't fly in Foxwoods ... but one could dream.

I was four tabling and came back just in time to see KK on table 4, and as I was grabbing my mouse to move it over and raise, party timed me out and folded me. It was a $50 pot won by a pair of jacks, so that pee cost me at least 20 bux.

that's the problem of making poker a profession - you can work ANY TIME ANY WHERE, and you LOVE YOUR JOB!
