Re:WSOPE TV: Barry Shulman's Annoying Wife
My first two wives were annoying. Other guys' wives are their annoyances.

Re:Just got laid off best options to make $500 week
Consider purchasing Treat Your Poker Like A Business by Dusty Schmidt. Decide what form of poker will be your focus. SNGs, for example. Get some lessons from Jennifear. Join PokerXFactor. Study sheets until you can no longer stand the sound of his voice. Get a part-time job. - JDW

Re:and every one thinks durrrr is good
"... sore up the stakes to the top in under a year." Sounds painful and not a little prescient. Good luck. - JDW

Re:Quit my job today going fulltime
Just read an interview with a "serial entrepreneur who conceived the Founder Institute," basically a night school for budding entrepreneurs. He advised, "We don't encourage people to quit their jobs. [A job] is a legitimate funding vehicle in this financial market: Be gainfully employed." I have long thought of a budding poker pro as an entrepreneur. Work is a great way to increase the size of your bankroll. - JDW

Re:Poker Fatigue
Despite my advanced age and bad back, I find I can play for many hours. My edge is a large exercise ball as a seat, which apparently balances my core.

Re:What did you buy?
My wife's gall bladder surgery. Dental work. Exterior of house painted. Son's wedding present. Not exactly balla, but felt good to do.

Re:The BIG Problem of Poker Players
Excellent thinking at just the right time of the year. Some thoughts. I just bought a fitness-club-quality elliptical trainer, which is just feet away from my computer. Replace whatever you are currently drinking (during play) with water. Think of poker as a sport, for which you have to get in shape. Find somebody who will do a weight-loss (typically) prop bet with you. Put a before-pic on the frig. Fruit, fruit and cottage cheese, smoothies don't take an longer to prepare than take-out. Write down your goals re fitness and poker. Good luck. Work hard. - JDW

Re:Odd Confession @ myself and online poker
As far as I'm concerned, avatars and screen names (often) constitute tells. And reverse tells. Obviously. Durr & OMGClayAiken both chose their names to appear "stupid." Or annoying. Or both. Two smarter players it'd be hard to find. I forget durrr's avatar on FTP, but Galfond's is an old fat lady. Whitelime has been using a crazy plant his entire, hugely profitable career. While krantz has a clown. In all cases, they are trying to appear weaker than they really are. Watch your opponents' play vis a vis the avatar and screen name. Invaribly, the ...
