[The Kraken]

I am an actuary for an energy company in the midwest. I wrestled in high school and college. Still train MMA some, do jiu-jitsu, boxing and Muay-Thai but I hate the cardio aspect of all 3 of them. Married and have 3 kids. Love to ride motorcycles. Just bought a haybusa about a month ago, weathers been perfect to ride. I hate running and working out but love tanning. I will be retiring in a few years at the age of 41. I have decided that once we get a few million in our retirement, I no longer care to keep working. I will be much happier retiring at 41 with a few million than at 65 with 10 million. We will likely retire to central america or a small island in the caribean. That money should last a life-time as thrifty as we are. At 65, I'll start getting my SS check as well. I am a +ev gambler but never made much money gambling. I have taught at three colleges as an adjunct for varying levels of math courses. I don't really like strip clubs. My wife drives a new tahoe that she financed and payed off through selling golf shirts on ebay. I've actually met jjgold and he actually does have a lot of money, not sure how though. I never asked, but in real life, he really is loaded.

Thats about it, what about you?

What kind of fascist doesn't enjoy breakfast for dinner? (or anytime for that matter. Breakfast food > everything).

[Cougar Bait]

I do not like breakfast for dinner either, but I love breakfast. Breakfast has it's time and place, for example, in the morning.

Perhaps breakfast for dinner is a liberal thing.

Scared to color outside the lines as a child. Over bearing father. Wanted you to play sports. Didn't come out of the closet until he died.

There is a certain edge to eating a morning food at the wrong time of day. Rebellious even.

Niko <-------

30y/o. Full time sports bettor/Full time poker player.
At 5-6 years old I was learning Basic math skills from my Grandma teaching me Blackjack. I would spend a lot of time with my grandparents because my dad was a poker dealer at one of the local casinos so a lot of nights were spent bored,..playing cards with grandma... hahaha..
About the same time my Dad and Grandpa were taking me to the Dog and Horse track pretty much every other day.. At least 3-4 times a week. Yes,..they still had dog tracks in MOST states..back then... HAHAHAHAA..
On Sunday mornings while my dad would sleep in I would go over to my grandparents house and my Grandma would have a Gin Rummy tourny for a bunch of oldies..
First sports betting memory I have is sitting with my Dad and one of his buddies at a coffee shop one morning going over some baseball games for the day. After years of little league and always collecting baseball cards, I remember my dad looking at the paper that day and then looked up and me... Looked at me dead in my eyes and asked me,.."Who I liked in the Giants/Dodgers game that day"? I saw my dad call into his bookie and place a $100 dollar wager on the side of the game I chose... We won that game and well..My love of sports betting started with that moment.....
Started playing poker around freshman/jr year in high school. During my high school years my dad was a manager for a small time card room. Spent a lot of weekends and after school helping my dad clean up the poker room and get everything ready for that nights games.. I wasn't allowed to stay once players showed up or once the placed was open for business but I would still sneak in and find ways to play.. Eventually by senior year nobody even blinked when I walked in and sat at a table..
A lot has happen since high school but to sum it up... Im pretty much a bumb now days.. Grinder playing poker most days..Sports daily....during the week I try to stay active with various projects, helping friends..etc...No kids yet, So life is pretty simple..
Just planning my next move in life I guess.

For the time being though.. "I'm sittin' on the flop here, waitin' to see fourth street."

i guess your dad didn't really take the time to get to know who you were but sounds like he might not have accepted it anyway...it's unfortunate but you are not alone...many skinrippers share the same problem.
