Message: [QUOTE="lazurus, post: 2512672, member: 126297"] Riffle, It took me many years to understand poker can be profitable if you treat it like a business. And at any point in a business, something can happen like you say but preparation is the only way to deal with something like that. Hopefully no health incident will stop me from playing because I always told myself that nothing could stop my body from touching those chips unless I was dead. And you brought up a good point such as a support network. Recently, I have final tabled the poker challenge 200k main event ncl and Joe Cada and his friends were on the ship. They were really cool and had great respect for my game as I did for them. They exchanged numbers with me and I am currently trying to evolve it into this support network. I feel I can learn more from them. They are from Michigan and Im from Atlantic city, so the only way it would work is I would have to travel and play with them. Honestly, I dont make much friends I can trust because most of them who play these $62 tournaments are always begging for people to buy them in. I have no respect for these players because they never can build up their bank roll and it has shown time after time, they are always begging for money. However, I do have those local friends who are great players who have built up a similar kind of bank roll like mine and they are trying to chase that poker dream. When you have that support network, it really helps because no body can understand poker for what it really is. It can mean gambling and bad beats for some but for others it can mean timing, mathematics, and good fortune after variance. [/QUOTE]
