What Does Winning A Million Dollars Prove?
I just passed the 10-year anniversary of my six-month-long million dollar net profit run. I wrote a book about it (Million Dollar Video Poker), and it’s still prominently mentioned on my website. Whenever I’m interviewed by somebody, I’m called the guy who won a million bucks. While that particular six months is clearly part of […]
Negotiating in Video Poker
