Borgata Heads Up Day Two

When I walked into the poker area for my semifinal match, the other three guys still in were discussing a deal. I listened to what they had to say and eventually caved and agreed to a deal where I walked away with a little more than $27k, a little more than my expected value assuming we were all even in skill.

I immediately regretted it. I came here to gamble, to play poker, to win tournaments. I don't know what I was thinking.

I'm not going to say anything because I know you already feel sick about it.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I begin take up real income.
It's all about how to select a proper partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Every time I get close to thinking I've made every mistake in the book a new opportunity surfaces. The adage is well "suited": "Good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgement."

Sounds to me like you made a great deal. I think it comes down to whether you care about the money in poker or whether you only care about "winning". Getting more than the 26k you said you would get if you won your first match and lost your second match -- and given that the first prize if you won them both was still itself only 49k -- this seems to me to be a no-brainer of a deal. But then, I only really play for the money and don't attach hardly any value to the "winning" itself (WSOP bracelet excluded of course).

Congratulations on the huge score!
