#myLAcommute The best way to intimidate someone is to be confident

#myLAcommute asks locals where they\'re coming from, where they\'re going and why.

I’m on my way now to play poker. I play five days a week. In 2009, I decided I didn’t want to work for banks or corporate America anymore. I decided to pursue a different kind of gambling. When I win, I celebrate by paying bills. When I lose, I take a break. It happens—it’s part of life. The most money I’ve lost playing poker is about $5,000. The most I’ve won in one night was $35,000. That was a great payday.

I don’t wear sunglasses when I’m in the casino. I think guys who do are insecure—and the best way to intimidate someone is to be confident. Whether you’re playing poker or doing anything else, that’s your best hand.
