Strange How Things Happen

I was perusing Craigslist the other day to find a part time job listing that I may be interested in. We could use the extra cash and If I could find a simple job on a few evenings or weekends, It'd be great. So I see this listing looking for people who know Texas Hold-em. I thought, I know Texas Hold-em. I mean, I probably watch 10 hours of poker on TV a week. There is a poker league in S.E. Michigan called the Pioneer Poker League that plays in local bars and restaurants pretty much every night of the week. The job was to setup and run these free tournaments.

The job was not good for me, but the idea of playing in some free Hold-em tournaments sure tweaked my interest. I guess the deal is, you gain points every time you finish top 10 in a tournament and after 3 months, the top 100 point getters play in a championship tournament where the winner gets sponsored into a real money event like a WPT cruise or WSOP event in Vegas, all expense paid. Needless to say, I have a new hobby and hopefully, if I play my cards right, I'll get a chance to win some real money, retire early, and live the life of Riley.

BTW, still looking for a good part time job.
