The second question most of you guys have is probably...  What do we do next?

Well, obviously, you can go get a "real" job.  It's interesting that before I left on my break, I was going to write about how you should start doing stuff with your poker money: either to save for the future, or to generate additional income streams for yourself.  I'll get into this more later, since that's probably not your immediate concern.

For this post, I'll assume you still want to play poker.  Your options are:

1) LIVE POKER.  No comment.  Actually, I took a trip over to the local casino over the weekend, and I'll post a trip report in the next few weeks.

2) MOVE ABROAD.  I suppose if you were young and didn't have kids, this is a great opportunity to see the world.  For me, we ruled it out before we moved to Dallas.  If any of you want to do a guest post on this topic, let me know.

The world is an awesome place, and it's going to be tougher for you to see it once you have kids.  The Chinese characters for "risk" is a combination of the characters for "danger" and "opportunity."  There is rarely any gain without risk.  So rather than looking at this Black Friday situation as the glass half-empty, look at it as an opportunity.  I think this could be a good money-making opportunity as well, if you want to have some "roommates."

3) OTHER WAYS TO PLAY ABROAD.  To be discussed later, after I figure out if they work.  As of now, there seem to be a few hangups, like VPN detection, transferring funds, etc. so once I get up-and-running, I'll let you know.  You can email me at DoubleFlyPoker@gmail.com and let me know what sites and kind of volume and I'll point you in the right direction on the best deals (later post).

4) PLAY ON US-FRIENDLY SITES.  Tomorrow, I'll tell you how you can play on a fairly decent site and get as much as 75% rakeback.

Stay tuned...  (oh, and between me and the Guest Posts, I should be back to posting 5x a week now).
