Anybody up for playing poker with property deeds?

Agreed with Rich...The one exception being when I used to play poker very seriously (and had some significant reported winnings)...I'd pay taxes on those at the time of the winnings, as the swings could be large and there was no guarantee that the funds would be liquid on April 15.

I’ve been grinding the poker scene for a long time and looking to change how I make a living.

BUT, comparing it to Poker, that has some merit.

It is just a waiting game really

It's like Poker, the main rule to success in the game, is to stay in the game. 

Rich -Jerry Buss was my first thought when I read this thread too...I was lucky enough to get to play poker with Jerry a few times (all before I got into real estate, unfortunately).

My problem with easily absolved financial situations that are wiped through bankruptcy is that it raises the cost of doing business for those who feel they have an ethical, if not an absolute legal, responsibility to pay back what they've borrowed - especially when the borrowing was done for goodies like new trucks, motorcycles and poker night.

Here are some of the greatest hits from the past decade: Stockton Breaks Homicide Record in "Bizarre" Shooting SpreeStockton, CA is Now Officially America's Most Miserable City 600 Police Gunshots Fired During Stockton Bank Robbery Declared "Excessive"Stockton is the Largest City in the Nation's History to File for BankruptcyFormer Stockton Mayor Arrested for Embezzlement and Playing Strip Poker with MinorsNo wonder most of you think Stockton plays out like a video calculating Arnold Schwarzenegger's Movie Kill Count.

I love to do the same thing in poker and check when I hit a big hand so my opponents become overly aggressive
