This is how I'm playing this poker game.

I am a poker player, pretty deep in it years ago, i started with $2000 of my "own" money and once i doubled it, i took mu initial $2k out and played with "house money" for the next 10 years, always keeping that poker bankroll separate from house budget. 

It's not a poker game in Vegas.

Since he didn't earn it, I would agree entirely with his philosophy on this particular point, which in my opinion, shows unusual restraint on his part.So, the next time you discuss poker with him, ask him point blank about it, and let us know the results of your discussion.

I may need to get these houses sold to fund the poker and craps budget though. :-)

I prefer poker, to be honest.

First of all, where do you play poker in your area?

I think it's like when poker first came on TV and everyone ran out and started playing.

Nobody would have a problem with this.Where I have a problem, is some poser deciding he wants to try wholesaling because the multi-level marketing thing last month didn’t work out and he lost all his money playing online poker the month before.

Think of it this way, how successful would you be playing cash poker against the old-time pros?
