"Chip" Reese

A poker player who died before his time or, at least, as the various magazines on gambling dubbed it because I truly wonder what the age range for a career poker player is.

But I am dedicating this blog segment to him because after perusing the various magazines to see if I could gain some insight of a succesful gambler, there is something worth repeating, as far as I can tell, and it is his comment on his gambling style - he could only gamble if he felt a little nervous, like walking a tight rope.

And for a trader like me, it says that at that mental state you are focused and not inclined to goof off, since there is serious money on the line. A surgeon in an emergency room probably has that same rush trying to stave off death.
