I like Monopoly article better than this one on Poker, but probably b/c I like Monopoly and can relate to it better.

Keep the clever analogies coming, they are helpful to me.

Another poker analogy is a four - flusher; someone who is all talk and no substance. There certainly are lots of wantrepreneurs who fall into that category.

If you can't spot the sucker at the table in the first 10 minutes, you are the sucker.
