I was kicking ass at the no-limit tournaments, though (won $80 in one night from coming in 1st and 2nd in the two games).

I enjoy watching the World Series, and could possibly see myself buying in on one of the side tournaments one day. But I cannot imagine spending $10,000 just to play in the main event with 5,000 people.
The 10grand is to buy in? I wonder what the minimum to escape (cash out) would be.

I like playing poker. I'm not particularly good at it (ie reading people) but rather than giving away everything in case I ever play any of you, I'll just say that I have won 80$ [profit] playing at casino once. Usually I just play with friends and it tends to even out after several games [though I have gone through losing streaks too grumble], and I like it that way.
