Very nice answer, it resonates a lot with my thoughts. Mainly that if you are working for someone else, it's almost inevitable that you will be doing something that you don't agree with somewhere along the line, be that because it doesn't interest you, the company is doing something stupid or unethical etc etc.
And poker definitely equals freedom imo, maybe not for us right now because we are not making enough from it, but some time in the future!
Hehe! My question was mainly tongue in cheek ![]()
Nice to know people's motivations behind why they play tho. Poker would be amazing without the possibility of making a lot of money at it (and quite boring with nothing on the line, or at least I wouldn't be sitting doing it for 5 hours at a time), but you add the fact that there is the possibility of playing for a LOT of money, and it creates something very special I think...
Hey Matt,
Nice blog.... Poker Football and Vices! What more could anyone ask for ♦.
I've just started working as a Data Analyst too, will be following your progress for sure.
I'm no expert, but I would say you've got to bet bigger with the QQ hand (Protection + Value!), I would definitely bet in proportion to the whole pot as well, not just the side pot.
Thanks! Although 3 pairs doesn't usually win. In fact gets into trouble a lot, especially in Omaha ;).
Yeah, analysts can be in any sector really, it's all just numbers to us ♦. I'm in the education sector.
What company do you work for? We use a marketing company in London, small world if its the same one.
You actually had to resort to google to prove the fact.
I hope he got a life time ticket to your home game ♦.
