I'm Winning, That's What Matters

Somebody asked me today how much my biggest winning was on poker. I answered with a very brief "Not much, I play cash games not tourneys so I don't get those big wins." I was met with another question: "So how much exactly is have you won from playing poker?" This time I answered with a novel. LOL.

Here's my answer:
A winning player will never tell you how much he is winning. A losing player will never hesitate to boast their biggest win. A story which ends in this very familiar line for gamblers -- "pero naubos din."

I think it's very inappropriate to ask a poker player how much he is making. It's kinda like asking your office mates how much everyone's salary is. I'm sure that is one taboo topic in the office.

So anyway, I thought about it and decided to come up with a decent/direct answer.

I make enough money from poker to pay for my bills:
Rent + Groceries + Daily Expenses

I make money from buying and selling online dollars:
I buy at 40, sell at 45.

You do the math. Haha!
