    Intro/question

    if you can't make yourself do the task at hand, then add something that will make you pay if you miss balls because of a lack or too much focus. that something would be a wager. not too much where you will slit your wrists if you lose, but it should sting. this is not a new concept. poker...

    How to drum up action

    it seems you want to run before you have learned to walk. continue your roll as a c player and get involved with numerous players for differing amounts of cash. most $500 sets don't start out that way among everyday players and those that do play that high out of the box are looking to rob...

    Just going to vent some.....
