I should have taped it.
There's a pack of dog-eared cards here somewhere

That was an interesting programme. I have played a lot of online poker. Made a lot last year playing single table and multi table tournaments, but I haven't cracked the cash tables, and have giving back most of my winnings trying to work out a winning strategy. Perhaps I should just stick to the tournaments but I like the cash games, where you a playing for money instead of chips. Will have to observe the lady on the programme last night, to see if she plays cash or tournaments. If she can make that much money from $100, it is worth giving it a serious go.
Just like trading, only a small % of poker players make money, so it is not that easy to be a winner.
