I gave up writing, guitar, time with friends and family, video games (laugh if you must), poker, vacations, pleasure reading, dating my future wife (we live together but date nights are far and few). 

Im a poker player and am not adverse to risk.

What's your end game?

While gambling, I bring only waht I am willing to lose and have as much fun doing it as possible.On the other hand, when playing poker (which is not gambling in my book) water and red bulls rule.

Scott, the toker king......or was that poker king?  

Always keep your poker friends and magician friends completely separate.

Having lived in Southern California as a poker dealer the past 5 years, this idea hasn't been a realistic one due to primarily tip based income (not much reported) and an extremely expensive market that is extremely tough to find cash flowing properties in.

It is like counting your winnings at a poker game before the game ends!

Scott it's available, looks like a great poker house!

I'll probably be driving past you next month hitting the poker tables once the casino opens.
