Well if anything you can rest assured knowing you pushed yourself and succeeded. Until then gl with the grind (poker too obv).

My brother is much happier these days now that he left the lawfirm, lots more time with his kids, etc. He talks fondly of the firm paychecks of last year though

have you ever seen it performed live?

the difference between reading it and seeing it live is amazing, i live in dublin so i've had a chance to see it several times and i've always loved it, it doesn't really come across how funny it is until you see it on the stage.

in terms of reading beckett,i really enjoyed his first novel murphy as well as first love and other stories. molloy is fairly weird and intense but absolutely incredible once you get inmmersed in it.

Mainstream coverage of poker is a joke.

I agree. I really did not like the underlying message from this part, "It is impossible to see Cates and Griffin sitting side by side in their apartment, backlit by three monolithic computer screens, and not wonder when Cates’s day of reckoning will come. Was the million-dollar loss to Gus Hansen the beginning of the end for jungleman12?"

I think his point is less about Cates and more about winning poker players in general, that we are all on upswings which will someday end...


I liked this part though... "Hansen asked Cates if he would like to play some Pot Limit Omaha (P.L.O.), a form of poker known for its wild swings and even wilder betting patterns."

Not boring at all atleast for me

I'm having a hard time reconciling the standard (US, perhaps) perception of an opera-fan with someone that would choose to use that avatar.
