    XRT/Louis – Yes, only if earnings are looking good in Retail would I want to bail.  We cashed in our winning $84 puts and now have $79 puts.  

    SCTY/QC – I have no idea what the question is?  

    AC/Toe – Well the biggest story happened last week, when Phil Ivey was accused of cheating at Baccarat.  Also, they have new, high-tech chips now because someone apparently brought fake chips to a game earlier in the year – there's so much money at stake now, it's no longer just a friendly tournament.  I don't follow poker on TV, so I don't know who's who but I'm only in satellite tournaments with 1,000 other guys, trying to win an entry to the big game, but the famous guys don't have to play those.   They just play the cash games while they wait for us little fish to sort ourselves out in small tournaments ahead of the big game.    

    I got to 25th in one tournament before getting blown out because I had 2 10s and the board was Jack, Jack, 10…. and the only guy at the table with more chips than me went all in and I'm thinking "this is it, I'm going to get all the chips and dominate to the final table" – that plan only lasted until he showed a Jack, 10 – a bigger full house than mine!  After playing for 9 hours until 2am, I got ZERO!  

    Still, if I want to get better I do have to practice and it's not the same playing on-line, nor is it the same playing with people who aren't great.  So, a couple of times a year, I try to hit a big tournament.  I've got about 15 years until I retire, at which point I hope to go pro.  Getting paid to play poker all day is a fun way to make a living!  

    CORN/Scott, Invest – Huge flush in the morning, back to $33.60 now.  Setting hard stops on things like that is nuts.  

    Marathon/BDC – Did you run?
