"You will show your poker greatness by the hands you fold, not the hands you play"

Okay guys, after much thought, reading and playing I've devised a strategy that I think is working for me, atleast as far as winning money. I think I am ready to move up to the next buy in as I have increased my bankroll sufficiently to do that, along with the fact I have some good numbers which is what I want to discuss.

I am multi tabling the 18 man sit and go's. I've bee ...

"I hope to break even this week. I need the money"

"Poker is like life, most people don't learn from their mistakes, they only recognize them"

Okay, I didnt get the job, seems they took two people one having dental experience while the other is sales experienced. Turns out while waiting for the news I decided to apply at a few other places in mortgage banking. Turns out alot of companies have gone paperless (something I've been doing for awhile at my old job) The wife has been bugging me to get a job, she so into the ...
