  1. This has to be the greatest quote – also is Carlos still playing “carlooser” style

    “For years, I tried to find freedom and escape the poverty I was born into. Tournament Poker Edge was the only thing that worked”

  2. Carlos you need to get out of that job, unless they are paying you a lot of money which I’m pretty sure they won’t be. Being the hired meat to protect academics from the physical consequences of their post-war consensus sounds a lot worse than spending more time with the kind of low-lifes you find in most tournament poker rooms. Actually, I guess it’s the sort of “are these my only options?” scenario that can make somebody decide to go back to the drawing-board entirely. I think you would make a good monk! It would keep you busy and take care of your accommodation issues that tend to come up regularly. If you aren’t particularly a man of faith, yet retain a degree of agnosticism, you could treat the whole venture as a kind of afterlife freeroll.
