[b]Playing to win?[/b]

Playing to win, hmmm. Don't we play all games to win, Scrabble, Chess, Dominoes, Poker? I'm not a professional, not making a living at it, but I did play professionally back in the nineties. Always traveling. Paid for my pilot training and bought an airplane off of poker winnings. Was more convenient and enjoyable than commercial flying and driving. The downside was I missed a good part of my kids growing up. Missed a lot of their school plays and sports events. There was always a poker tournament or a game I had to be at. Wish I could get the time back because I think I'd do it differently.

Now I play online and am winning but not enough to make a living at it. Part of the reason is I don't need to make a living at it. To make a living at it you always have to be hustling. And I'm now careful to live a balanced life among family and friends. Recently went to see my daughter-in-law graduate with her Masters Degree from USC.

On my death bed I'll remember her graduation, but I doubt I'll remember a single poker game I played.
