For those who have been looking at my community posts lately, you know i'm writing a paper on the online gambling legislation.
I've changed my focus now. I'm going to write a paper comparing day stock traders and online poker players, so i want to interview a day trader and a poker player.
SO, anyone want to be interviewed? I'd prefer someone who plays at least 50 NL and has a good understanding of poker terms.

Massimo, for starters you might want to read this:
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...oker-36566.htm
I haven't reread it since I wrote it but I should probably flesh it out some more.
Given the subject of your paper, some discussion of whether poker is a game of skill or a game of chance is no doubt appropriate, which this thread begins to address using investing as an analogy. I'm not sure if comparing poker players to day traders is the best comparision to make. The common wisdom is that most day traders lose money, but then that's probably true of poker players, too, so maybe it's not so wrong. Regardless, poker is a long term game and so is investing, so maybe that thread will give you some ideas.

This reminds me of an ancient Chinese proverb.
He who pats himself on the back, is most likely to dislocate his shoulder.

"He who goes to bed with itchy asshole, wakes up with stinky fingers. "
That one is probably more appropriate for Lukie.
