Horrible poker face I guess - or maybe just the fact that I was giddy which was not a common response.A big regret for me was that I was not more engaging with him when I was presented with that opportunity.

Some of my most profound findings on this subject were confirmed when I actually dealt with fellow gamers (strangers) in an internet cafe where they behaved differently to me in person and differently in game chat (they knew it was me).

Granted, I don't play poker professionally, and have a different 9 to 5, but his family life and goals for supplemental income are uncanny in their similarities.A little about me: I'm in my mid-thirties, recently married, and even more recently a new father to a beautiful baby girl.

Its like playing poker. 

It is more of a developer/commercial (3D) version that is great.I usually compare REI to playing Poker.  

When I was in my mid-20s I played poker for a living and was fortunate to do pretty well for myself.

Finding a true mentor in this game really requires a great knowledge base to start from.  

I had poker chips printed to use as business cards.

I have poker buddies who I'll happily hand $30K in cash to sit down in a poker game without so much as a handshake (and not think twice about it).

Well I did have the carpets cleaned after we had a poker party in it, but that was it.
