Getting Rich with Chris Moneymaker
Being imaginative about your career pays off
There is a certain humor in the name Chris Moneymaker especially if you realize that he is in fact a very successful poker player. When I was reading up on his profile, this is one of the things that made me think and jump straight to his autobiography. You can normally tell that a person is fun to be with if their name immediately makes you smile. I know that a name is not something that they will have had control in creating but this is only in relation to the first name. The second name is a humorous homage to the poker game. I am an absolute sucker for this sort of thing and the moment I say the name I decided that this was going to be one of the poker player profiles that I would be reviewing in my series.
