Ok before I say anything I'm not interested in Internet quarrels and nor am i starting one.
Now that's outta the way, idk if some of the negativity about Rhea's choice to go on the road and get some seasoning is bc some ppl feel the need to have others follow their path and ideologies?
Gamblers get a bad rap and rightfully so bc everyone knows a POS who calls themselves gamblers. But a true gambler is some one who knows what they are getting into. They know the risks but also see the reward. If they lose they don't cry, they just chalk up the lost. They are aware of their skill level and confident that they will win in the long run. A loss is inevitable and a stone cold fact. To think otherwise is ridulous.
A Gambler is respectful and honest bc he/she knows that they have chosen to do something that is generally looked down upon. So they carry themselves well as to not dishonor or disrespect their means to make money.
NOW, what the general public calls a "gambler". A person who is addicted and will go thru great lengths to make a score. A liar, cheat, etc. will do anything to support a habit and chase their losses.
Take this next part for what it's worth! Most ppl are real hypocrites and arm chair quarterbacks. They may gamble on occasion and have something to say, advice to someone who just took a loss. They make it seem as though they never make a losing choice. And yes it's true there are some real ppl out there that never lose. We call them Bottom Feeders and NITS. But worse then Bottom feeders and NITS are posers.
Posers talk a lot and true may never go broke bc they would never step out there and play someone who "might" be better than them. They are glorified cowards. Claiming the title of a gambler who never loses. Ha! Makes me laugh just writing this.
They are too scared to see what they are made of. And will never really know how good they can be. More worried about losing then winning. And worse off pass judgement on those who actually have the heart to test themselves under fire.
If you don't have the courage to test yourself then you shouldn't have the courage to slander someone who is giving it their all. Can't help it if your fear of losing has enslaved your pride.
That being said, don't give advice or talk negatively by saying something about someone you know nothing about. Saying she'll turn to petty crime or turning tricks is low. Perhaps a reflection on what you would do if you had the heart to do what Rhea's doing.
No doubt, what Rhea's doing is tough and pretty much unheard of in this day and age. But she's exercising her God given right persue her goal/dream. So if you have a problem with her then get out from behind the keyboard and say it to her on the felt. I don't care if you play better than her. Just being in her world I'm sure you would feel the brunt of her fire for the game and fold up like a cheap lawn chair.
This isn't directed at anyone but if you're offended then you know I'm talking to you.
Rhea! Joey is right though. Keep a diary and share your story. It would be a great way to make money and even if not for the money, do it for the game! Let ppl know that you did something no one thought was possible in this time and age!
