i continually wade through all of the heckling, jeering, and unsolicited advice because i'm rather interested, too. most of us have been on the road or have made road trips, and our experiences were all different and unique. But this particular one is truly different.
So let it be noted that every other poster here is miles smarter, better educated, richer, plays better, gambles better, knows the pool lingo better, has better life priorities, and is more moral than Rhea. Got it.
But let's hear this story- without needing to get our own egos so deeply involved that they affect the story or it's outcome. Who cares who the "rich guy" or "the pro" are? Are you really trying to get involved and block any help she might get? Need to be part of the story? Personally, I don't even care if these people exist or not- I just want to hear what happens. It's been entertaining so far.
Also i'd like to point out some other obvious things: i don't have to believe everything i read. i don't have to believe that every story is the full story. And we don't need to judge the main character on whatever grounds and then dismiss the whole story based on that judgement.
