Zag een link naar dit artikel op PI staan naar dit artikel, maar heb het hier nog niet zien staan en is absoluut de moeite waard.
Gaat over ouder die schrijft over zoon die poker boven school verkiest.

Erg interessant inderdaad (vanaf pagina 5 dan Drunken)

Dit gedeelte bijvoorbeeld:

Quote:
Nightmare outcomes still stalk my waking dreams:

    Dan loses all his money; cannot quit playing; comes to me for funds; I tell him no; he borrows from the Mob and loses his kneecaps.

    Dan makes millions; lives in a world of casinos, cocaine and one-night stands; wakes up one morning in middle age to discover his life is empty.

    Dan is reduced to grinding online until it sets his teeth on edge; cannot bring himself to return to school or take a low-wage job; withdraws from human relationships.

Nice article. Dude is wel wat twisted tho. See below.

Quote:
He thinks a minute. Then he says: "Playing poker does help you focus more on what other people might need from you. You might not be right all the time, but that's where your thought process goes. If you care about someone else's goal, then you can help them."
"Players who are crybabies deserve something to cry about." Barry Greenstein. Smile
Bad players do win, only good player win more often.
Risk nothing, gain nothing.

At home he discovered Monopoly; when everyone else was sick of the game, he played against his own imaginary opponent.

Hah wat een doorzetter!
Weet niet of je kinderen kan leren dat meedoen belangrijker is dan winnen, kan men denk ik maar alleen zelf achter komen...
Aan de andere kant het is wel erg leuk om te winnen..

Hele leuke stuk om te lezen, deze alinea is trouwens ook grappig.

I remember another opinion Dan has ventured — that young men find poker more exciting and successful than young women because women think, Do I have cards that can win? whereas men think, How can I get this person to think I have the best cards?
