I was on a travel team where we played tournaments and made it up to the semi-pro level of competition.

Even if you have a job, you could easily squeeze 2 hours into this productive time slot, say from 5 AM to 7 AM.Also, plan out everything you need to accomplish the night before.

Did you travel throughout (and possibly outside) the US entering tournaments and playing cash games?

I was a mortgage loan officer back in the 80's, lots simpler back then.

how big of slot did they cut in top sheathing?

Mike, it depends on what ledger accounts you have to slot this expense.

What you're looking at here is changing how a loan is slotted, whether it is a commercial loan or a residential loan.

Back when the printing press was first invented, each letter was on an Iron Rod that was inserted into a slot on the press.

For a year or two during the poker boom, I did the big tournament circuit and made a couple TV appearances (including my worst moment -- coming within one card of winning a World Series of Poker bracelet and then losing to the guy who became the youngest World Series of Poker bracelet winner ever at the time)...

I just got my application for IDPA as well so I'll probably see Mike at a tournament at some point.
