In the last few years, I took up playing poker. I read books about it. I watched the World Series of Poker on TV. I’ve watched better players than me play and I’ve learned a little bit. My playing is a bit of a charity. I invite people to my home, I feed them, I give them all the liquor they want — you buy any advantage you can in poker. And so when I win their money, I don’t have to report it.
