Richard and I were watching an episode of Law and Order today. The victim at the beginning of the episode was a "high roller". His brother-in-law had "hired" a whiz kid poker player to ambush him. The kid had the guy in a game and eventually had him down 1/2 million.
High rollers fascinate me. They play big. They win big too, BUT.......... There's a side of that coin that we don't see. We just see them cashing big tickets. How many times have I seen someone cash out and admit to me "I put more than that in". I mean if someone wins big, they're ahead. Right? No, not necessarily. As a matter of fact, probably not. You see, to sustain the high roller status they have to have a huge bankroll. They have to hit bit, or they go down big time. And if you've been paying attention, the "big hit"s don't come as often as you might think they do.
When I leave a winner, it may only be $20. But I beat the high roller who lost hundreds or thousands. Which of us is it better to be? I say being a winner beats being a loser hands down. Duh! I beat them all. yea me!
I had a big hit tonight and am up. One day in a row...a winner. Stay tuned!
