For Felix

I met this weirdo who plays a lot of poker and thinks he is a cartoon character. He has been pushing me to write and play more poker because like many of you, he hangs on every post as if it is the next chapter in the poker gospels.

Or maybe he just wants a good laugh, who knows?

I lost $123 tonight playing $6-12 Omaha Hi Lo and here I am writing.

Felix said I've become a whore because I've tried to make a few bucks as an affiliate so I don't have to try to grind out a living with my questionable poker skills.

I would add only add to this that I'm the worst kind of whore: a broke one.

I'm perhaps the worst poker affiliate ever because I end up giving away huge percentages and still can't get many sign-ups. I tend to get the bonus whore players who hit negative rake every month, but want rakeback just in case they ever decide to play a few hands past their bonus.

I guess Felix is right, I should post. Knut Hamsun was so broke he ate his own flesh to stay alive and wrote a great book about it. Maybe my perpetual losing and failure in business is leading me to the next great masterpiece of literature. I would hate to think I'm becoming a crazed, destitute whore for no good reason.

If Fate is kind to me I will lose the last few bucks I have and start writing....

Wish me luck.
