A short guy is sitting at a bar just staring at his drink for half an hour when this big, trouble-making biker steps next to him, grabs his drink, gulps it down in one swig and then turns to the guy with a menacing stare as if to say, 'What'cha gonna do about it?"

The poor little guy starts crying.

"Come on man, I was just giving you a hard time," the biker says. "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can't stand to see a man crying."

"This is the worst day of my life," says the little guy between sobs. "I can't do anything right. I overslept and was late to an important meeting, so my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car was stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home." He continues, crying even harder. "Then I found my wife in bed with the gardener and my dog bit me. So, I came to this bar trying to work up the courage to put an end to my life, and then you show up and drink the damn poison."

What is the…difference between a poker player and a dog?

I recently wrote this in "Axman's Corner" at DrCheckRaise.com:

"If you play a negative-expectation game, don't be a long-term player. Instead, try to maximize your exposure to positive events, and minimize your exposure to negative events. If you're losing (e.g., one-half of your session bankroll), don't keep playing trying to get back to even. If you're winning, set a reasonable profit goal (e.g., 10%), and lock up some of it (e.g., 50%), or all of it, when you reach your goal. It's OK to quit, or to set a new profit goal and continue to play with the unlocked portion of your profit. Don't keep playing if you drop below your goal; you can also drop down in stakes."

When I wrote this, I had in mind the typical casino games where the house always has an edge over the player, e.g., craps. A few games, like video poker (maybe blackjack), can have a long-term positive expectation if played optimally and/or with sufficient casino comps.

Everyone will have to decide for themselves if they have a long-term positive expectation from playing poker.

P.S. Those %'s may be too conservative for some, but are in fact based on the suggestions of John Patrick in his books on casino gambling, especially craps.

good luck on rebuild. #$$##@@@ hackers. glad to see you back up, as hard as you work

Hi Shaz,

Glad to see you with us, and the link to wildcats is welcomed.

There was a place here all along for intros... I thought the "Welcome Mat was posted by someone named Matt, LOL!

A lot of you know me from Wildcats Poker and various poker sites.. my name is usually some variation of shaz.

I'm working on getting a new forum ready for the Grand Opening - hopefully it won't be too much longer... I'm trying to get as many freerolls set up as possible, and it's taking a lot of negotions, as in back and forth emails between myself and various affiliate managers.

It'sWildcats Gambling - if you guys don't want the link posted, my feelings won't be hurt if you delete it.

I hope you all come and visit me when you have a chance at Wildcats Gambling - more and more is being added on a daily basis!

By the way, I live in Tucson AZ, and I'm on MST, 3 hours earlier than EST, so I'm usually wide awake when you guys are all tired out

Take care,
Kathy
