Default Re: Low stake \"pros\" ???

i used to live in a cheap room above the chelsea pub in AC NJ, for $100 a week, and i was winning about $1000 a month playing $1-3 and $1-5 stud in the trop and at ballys. i could play 10 hrs or so a day 7 days a week, no girlfriend, living alone, and i averaged $33-40 a day which is $1000-1200 a month. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A WONDERFUL WAY TO SAVE UP A $5000-10000 BANKROLL SO I COULD GO TO CALIFORNIA AND PLAY $20-40 HILO STUD AT THE BIKE EVERYDAY AND MAKE $1000-1500 A WEEK INSTEAD OF A MONTH, except for one little problem. id waste all my money at BJ, video poker, and looking for a girlfriend. sometimes id get so low, id be holding up a sign panhandling, (back when that still paid $50-100 a day instead of the $10 a day it pays now). and sometimes i was without a place to sleep and just kept a sleeping bag and slept during the day to avoid being assaulted while i slept. but hell id have never gave up my freedom for anything. cuase i always knew as soon as i got a bankroll id recover. i had a 9100 bankroll once but i [censored] it up. and currently im trying to get all my money outta the sites except for like $100 in stars and $100 on epasseporte, and i wish i could hurry up and untie it. ive only got $490 in the bank, even though my total roll is still close to $1300, and it pisses me off the way the govt is [censored] with me when im so dependent on this money to survive. guess im gonna have to move outta my moms in central ks where im living for $50 a week and move back to AC NJ so i can play live, unless i go to FL since its winter. FL has lots of good $1-2 hilo omaha games in the tampa FT lauderdale area. 24 hours too at the indian casinos. and its WARM THERE.

Seven,

"i'd be holding up a sign panhandling, (back when that still paid $50-100 a day instead of the $10 a day it pays now).

What?

I did a documentary a few years ago.

In Santa Monica, Ca. (near Los Angeles) a panhandler can make roughly $14 an hour.

You inability to punctuate, spell, refrain from using caps lock, refrain from using paragrpah structure, and tell a good story is legendary.

Also I would be willing to bet that most if not all of that is made up.

Moving to Florida to make a living playing 1/2 Omaha 8 is one of the more laughable ideas I've ever read on this forum.

Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. One would think vegas 1/2NL and moving up the ladder would be FAR more attractive.

I sure wish I could move to Vegas to play. I had planned to do so months ago. Unfortunately the job market and the economy here is so bad that I'd have to take a really big loss on my house. I do agree though, that Vegas is the place to be. California has good action, but their housing prices as we all know are ridiculous
