Fast big money

As I've noted before, poker is addictive. Given this fact, it's not too surprising that certain styles and flavors of poker are more addictive than others. For me, the most addictive form of poker of them all is sit and go no limit hold'em. It has two unbeatable attributes:

1. you can make tons of money
2. you can make it really fast

These can be combined into a single phrase - fast big money. Of course, both of these attributes have their "evil twin" flip sides:

1. you can lose tons of money
2. you can lose it really fast

Having now played over a thousand sit and go no limit hold'em tournaments, for a profit of nearly 3 million play dollars, I've proven to myself that I make fast big money considerably more quickly than I lose it :-)
