Laura The Poker Player, Page 2

Laura lived in the computer city motel. Preferring to live out of a suitcase rather than have the hassle of a house. The hotel room was decorated all in pink. The walls were pink, the carpet was pink shag carpet, The bed spread was pink. It was a great place to live. It was very calming.

Laura in addition to being a professional poker player was a big video game player. So she had a 55 inch big screen television along with a home theater system and as many game consoles as she could afford. She not only like playing the newest games and consoles she also like playing the very fist consoles and games. She was a pretty good video game player but, she did not want to go pro because she thought she could make more money as a poker player. And she was right.

She liked to play video games at least two hours a day to keep up her talents. She did play in video game tournaments when there was a week or weekend when there were no poker tournaments occasionally. She did ok but, needed more practice to become good. But she was proud of her performances.

She had a goal of someday playing and beating as many video games as she could within five years. But, for now she was happy being a poker player. She played poker fifty weeks out of the year mostly at the computer city casino. And she made a decent living too. Fifty thousand dollars a year most years and since she did not spend much beyond rent and food she was starting to save up a large amount of money. She only put the money in the bank as she did not know about or like to make investments.

Her best friend was from high school. Lima Winston also grew up in a upper middle class house hold but, unlike laura she chose to become a scientist. But, she supported Laura's dream of becoming a world class poker player and would watch all the tournaments was involved in on television since she had a busy life. Like Laura, Lima was also a video game fanatic and would also participate in the video game tournaments that Laura would go to. She was not as good of a player but, she was good enough to win some prize money. She like Laura had given up on romantic relations ships in favor of her work as she had had no luck in love and decided to give it up in favor of her science. She did not get lonely living alone because she had many many friends and besides she did not have time for a romantic relationship since she was up late into the night always working on her next science experiment.
