Money, money, money...

[Predator314]

I get relatives asking for loans all the time. They don't realize that I actually put my poker winnings to good use. It's my real work wages that I blow on toys.

Since November, I've used poker earnings to pay all my bills, plus pay off two loans. The only "toys" I've bought with poker wages are 1.) a 50" HDTV for my parents for Christmas and 2.) a new laptop for me.

So, I have a "real" job too. I make pretty decent money and it's an easy job. I save about 1/2 of my monthly salary (trying to buy a house) and blow the rest on things such as girls, guns, guitars, bowling balls, pool cues, CDs (I buy at least one CD a week), etc.

I HAVE been accused of selling drugs though. I think it's a compliment. I'm living very well right now and some people just can't understand how I afford my lifestyle.

Also, I love it when people that I know (not friends) ask me to teach them to play poker. I tell them I'm not that good, just better than most of the chumps you see at the table. There are thousands out there better than me. Then they ask how to learn. I tell them to read a book and play thousands of hands. "Which book?" they say. "All of them; that's what I did", I say [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
