Live poker and possibly relocating outside the US again

 Most former US grinders that played mostly online before "Black Friday" now play predominately live. There are so many obvious differences between live and online and for me the most difficult thing is sitting next to all the people and listening to all of the absurdities.

  So I am the guy that sits with his shades listening to his ipod and focusing on all the action, the bet sizing, my own thought processes all the while dreaming that I was clicking buttons on Poker Stars lol

 Here's to New Jersey allowing Stars to return, hopefully in time other states will follow and band an interstate compact to increase the player pools and once again the SamuraiPlaya can return to the virtual felts :-)

 Until then I have been in contact with some successful 2+2 investors and I may once again move outside the US. I will update when I know more. Have a great day on & off the felt!

 

Book of the Month

"The story of a small village Bank that revolutionized the way people around the world fight poverty."

 I have been reading more literature on finance, business and investing and I came across this book at the library. I usually know that I love a book when I first read it from the library and then go and buy it for my own :)

  I do not consider myself Republican or Democrat but rather a moderate conservative and this story really confirms my belief that entrepreneurs who invest in others ideas and dreams truly do grow the economy and provide opportunities for others to grow and improve their lives where they otherwise may not have been able to without the risk takers and lenders.

 We do however need to regulate "predatory" and reckless lending but make no mistake, credit and loans allow people to do things they otherwise would never be able to do. If you get a chance I suggest that you read this book if you are interested in economic growth and prosperity. Enjoy :)
