It Beats Starving

We didn't know until today about a long-time TV news reporter who's having trouble finding full-time work. Matt Stevens told one website: "Some of the very best TV journalists in America are unemployed."

In the meantime, Stevens is playing poker in U.S. east coast casino tournaments -- and doing well, with a couple of titles worth more than $14,000 so far this year.

We can relate to what Stevens is doing -- as we've been without steady work for almost a year. Poker gives us something to do, and the possibility of income to gain. We've documented several wins and cash gains here. (But we have no casino or poker room close by, to play on a regular basis.)

Has the bad economy revealed you're a good poker player? Leave a comment, and share your story. You might inspire others.
