[jtr]"Given my interpretation of your original post, it just seemed that your audience (i.e., readers of this forum) were missing the point in chastising you for supposed arrogance when you were already pretty much the humblest guy in town. Explained?"

You needn't have had to explain the obvious, to me, JTR. My proposal for you to continue your line of reasoning was for the immediate benefit of the other members who read and regularly post, here. As a rookie, I have absolutely no idea who to fear, and thus, I fear no one.

Incidentally, I just returned from Las Vegas and played a little (3 hours) limit hold'em at the Mirage. As a rookie, I lost $168 playing waaaaay too many hands. Yes, I did win several good pots, and I *was* on a winning streak (winning 3 of the last 4 hands) when my wife came up to me and said she was bored.

As a possible, future professional in the area of hold'em, is it still wise to leave the table when the wife insists she is leaving? <g>

Just curious ...
