Poker table with chips and cards. 

I have thought about having a poker night at our home with billiards and poker in West Jordan but haven’t ever posted.

You are beginning to sound like a Poker player that keeps adding chips to a pot, looking at 2 Aces and a King, thinking the odds are with him drawing another Ace. 

I feel like I might be at a point where it’s best to just dump them and start new.  ...and there's your answer.Do you know the similarity between Poker and REI (not gambling)? 

I am professional online poker player but I have had REI in consideration a few years already.

This is my 30,000 mile high in the sky overview of real estate investing.I tend to look at investing in real estate like a  high stakes poker game, especially in the Bay Area.

One of the most important rules of REI is much like poker....stay in the game.  

If the answer is no, then you are doing the same thing as buying something on sale, because it's on sale, even though you wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't on sale.To use a Poker Expression, "The name of the game, is to stay in the game".  

My local (but big city) mayor & cops just busted a Golden Girls penny ante poker game, because the stakes amounted to more than $10.  

That's true for poker, for stocks, and true for REI.
