Ouch! Sorry to hear it, but glad to hear that you've taken the right decisions to turn the corner.

I wonder if Rush Poker might work substantially better than regular poker on the sort of small screen you'd expect to find on a mobile device? Many mobile device manufacturers would not support the presence of such a client in their app store, but it still might be of interest.

I guess everyone has their own utility function; some will derive utility from the balla lifestyle and "hanging with the big dogs", as you say in your second last paragraph, others measure their bankroll, others still might measure how much money they manage to redirect from the poker universe to their favourite cause - quite possibly, their mortgage.

Does Neil Channing take much money out of the gambling universe, would you know? I don't think he's at all short of winnings, but there was a moment on a poker show I saw recently (quite possibly not a recent show...) where he ended up with a sizeable, middling-final-table payout and then admitted (possibly unusually candidly, or quite possibly just for image - who knows?) that he would "probably just gamble it". The Black Belt Poker enterprise seems to have been inspired, at least in part, by his conisderable staking arrangements.
