I am not a gambler — at least in the truest sense of the word. Yes, I take risks in business, but these are highly calculated risks in which I have an ability to impact heavily through work ethic and dynamic adjustment methods. Even when I travel to Las Vegas with friends and business partners, I stick to the slot machines because I have figured out the probability based on consistent plays — so I always win. With that being said, there are actually people who earn a living playing poker. When I say earn a living, I mean a living that is beyond the earning status of 95 percent of the U.S. population. Poker is not only a game of skill, but it requires the ability to remain calm as to not tip your hand, as well as know how and when to bluff your opponents.
