Has there ever been anything...

[VBM]

you regret missing/not doing (e.g. birth of your child, tv show, 3-some) b/c u were playing poker?

Not bashing the game at all, but just getting a gauge on where poker fits in on ppl's personal choices/lives...

[ThaSaltCracka]

nope

[tolbiny]

1. Birth of child? no children.
2. TV shows? Heck the rerun those.
3. 3-some. Been there, done that- but if another comes along i sure as hell won't be playing cards....

[astroglide]

yeah i regret "not working" when i play. between a 40hhr/wk job a 10hr/wk side job and 15hrs/wk of poker (and now renovating a condo) i don't get to do much besides work. but it won't be like this forever.

Wish I'd spent more time posting useless cr*p on Internet forums.

I was playing in the Luxor one day, after busting out of their $20 tournament. I got a call on my cell phone, won a nice pot, then started racking my chips.

"Where are you going? You're going to scoop that pot and run?"

"My wife's having a baby," I said.

Everyone laughed.

"No, really, that was her on the phone, she's having a baby. I've got to go meet her at UMC."

Only regret I've ever had that was caused by playing poker: Not leaving the night that the El Cortez broke out the JACKHAMMERS to install the ShuffleMaster machines in the adjacent pit. I played for three hours, putting up with JACKHAMMERS. What on earth was I thinking? I'd never do that now. But I did it then.

word on that.

I'd say I go to 1 of 3 classes now. Used to be like 2 of 3 before poker.

For me it's the opposite.

Once I went to eat dinner with a buddy of mine after playing a round of golf, and met a woman who I'd be with for the next 4.5 years. It ended brutally and I'm scarred emotionally for life.

Damn, I wish I had just gone to Commerce.
