"Go watch Rounders and listen to what Knish has to say."

or why not ask/listen to the grinders on here? they are much more real and lifelike than a movie character. even though the character was done well...

i dont think dave is seeing this as a glamorous, non grinding job. im not sure of his past stuff. but he got a taste of it in this experiment he's doing. i think he's noticed the effects of playing a little. he even mentions his emotional change later in his post. and how it has affected him. i think he sees some of the writing on the wall as to how the life may affect him longterm. which i think says volumes about himself to be able to recognize those signs. some people never even come close to doing that.
