If this game eventually finishes, or you want to finish with it, what are you going to do?

Who has an idea of their future plans?

Maverick wants to play poker, I'm getting heavily involved with sports trading, anyone else?

I'm going into retirement at. 30. It's too stressful. I think I'll just get a greenhouse and visit the Mecca once a week for the 84percent25games.

There's a tramp who lives in Skegness Pier. His name is Jeff.

I'm a qualified decorator. I'm thinking about getting up and running as self employed by the end of the year hopefully.

poker - the best days are over online.

sports trading - the best days are over also

Would agree largely with poker.

Sports trading the easy money has largely disappeared but if you put the work in re:research, backtesting and model building it can still be very lucrative.

Too many good grinders online these days for poker. Even the lower stakes games have people earning a wage off them. There's still fish there but not nearly as much as there used to be.

Same with live poker pretty much. I'd say the games are easily softer, but the fact you can only play one at a time and it's slower hurts your hourly.

I will be realistic and go for 1 of the following:

1. A tramp
2. A murderer (kill the wife, she is such a CUNT)
3. A tramp and murderer on the run
4. A fraudster

and 1 more I can say for sure, a miserable person.

Live is soft as I agree, theres games in london where you would think 5% upto £10 rake would kill the game, but the turn over of players is massive on a night. A soft game has far more value than a multi table nit fest.

Still if you have a at least a skilled job then you will do well to beat the income playing poker.

I cannot stand poker. I would rather be Kesh's best mate than play that for a living.

I've seen a lot of leaflets recently that advertise new cardrooms and poker clubs in my area. I've never really been into poker, tried it a couple of times but I didn't think it was fun. It's true that the turn over of some players was huge and really impressive.
I'm not sure about what I'm gonna do once this game is over though...

If you don't know what you're gonna do when this game is over, I'd get thinking.

Because unless something comes out soon, in about 3-6 months you'll land on the biggest ever ? that you've landed on. Some people with advance planning will have cancel lit up and can choose to BOOST their income doing something else. Otherwise you'll get as much chance of surviving that ? as on a vamp that's had 3 picks out of it and spinning 7 then 11.
