OK, here it is: I am not wealthy. I can't freaking afford to keep losing $100 bucks a week trying to learn how to play poker. I don't think I'm all that bad at it, but bad beats and bad plays on my part as I learn sure do take a toll.

Should I take a sabbatical and just 'study' for a year or so before I put another dollar into this game? I mean, I'd like to be able to pay rent now and then!

Sigh...
