I am the official Poker champion among those INSEAD students who are in Singapore. There was a hold'em tournament on Saturday evening with S$50 (approx US$ 30) entry fee. There were about 20 entrants, and I WON!!! It was kinda tough. Coming into the final table of 6, I had the least amount of chips and no luck. I guess the no-luck factor helped me a lot, because I played very conservatively, except for those one or two obvious easy to steal pots.
During the final head-to-head, the other guy, Jani, had more than 3 times the chips I had. That is, I think, where my newly acquired skills from playing lots of online tournaments showed. Ohh! I also forgot to mention my Chris Moneymaker approach: Most of the time, I wore my sunglasses with polarized lenses :-) I spent most of my night counting others' chips while bowing my head.
Anyway, bottom line, I won! And like every nouveau-riche, went out with my friends and paid almost for all the drinks until I ran out of my profits! (I guess I were at the 2nd stage of drunkenness where one is the richest person on earth. My friends thought it was very cool of me buying them drinks. The way I would like to think: I did good community service.)
still making progress at poker

SO I predict the business thing going out of the window and you becoming a high-stakes player in Vegas.
Just sayin'
