How about it's not your ****ing money, so mind your own ****ing business

What a year for them.
Why aren't u taking ur own advice? Pull the string young buck.

That is definitely a good question, probably too much overthinking it, or getting distracted.

Sorry to hear about the HSI situation, just read through the thread. That's pretty ****ed up.

Keep your head up and keep thinking positive thoughts.

Only 1 direction to go: forward ------------>

The only reason I kept my chips in safety dep box was to provide for a more transparent vlog/thread. Same as I did in 2013 on attempt 1.
These r the only 2 times I kept that many chips.
I get it tho, and valid point.

You basically went from playing full time to zero - What are your plans as now? Commuting 1.4hours each way just to play seems crazy! Especially for a family man such as yourself.

just imagine if you put all that cash into bitcoin rather than the enph stock. - best of luck with the appeal!

When I do play I will hv to travel. Got some 2/5 and 5/10nl spots line up for next week. All within a couple hours drive.
Not sure how long I will b able to make these drives before it gets old. Just playing it all by ear and going w the flow.

Not a fan a bitcoin. Something sketchy there. Everyone is in it, and I rather just wish them good luck from the sideline. No interest in getting in at this time.

Bitcoin is vastly overbought, i'd stay away from it. When my idiot colleagues start commenting on it, you know the run is almost over. Maybe it keeps running up but the risk/reward is extremely overweight in volatility, there's easier money to be had for sure.

The Knight of Columbus in Indianapolis has some real good games. 1-3, 2-5 and some juicy PLO games. Usually get 8 to 10 tables going.

The deck looks fantastic Rayz! I hope you're doing well & not letting this beat you up too much while you're waiting on answers. I'm sure it's hard tho. The room misses you. Have a great Labor Day weekend
