Just so one thing is clear, spending all your time in the cardroom doesn't make you any less of a hermit than spending all of your time at home. I hope your new routine includes some non-poker activities, as well.

I agree with your statement. However, I do not spend all of my time in the cardroom. As mentiones in the OP, I am only there about 5 hours per day. The rest of the time I do other stuff that have nothing to do with poker.

I think Colima does have a point here. However, addiction is addiction no matter where it occurs. Anytime I go to my local cardroom at least thirty percent of the patrons are the same degenerates I see there everytime I play. They are always playing badly (good for me), usually tilting (also good for me), and rarely bathing (bad for me). Although I do enjoy turning a long term profit off of these people and I most certainly enjoy the freak show of gambling junkies, pimps, and career criminals, having so many hard core addicts living in the same community where I raise my children can't be a good thing.

Addiction of any kind sucks big time. Get your life under control so the rest of us don't have to pay for it in one way or another.

Can I ask where you play? I didn't know South Central LA had a poker room?

Club One in Fresno. Just imagine south central with worse weather and fewer jobs and you've got Fresno.

Ok, I'm familiar with Fresno. Not exactly a garden spot. At least being in the cardroom is safer than breathing the toxic air outside.

You kidding? Crystal Park, Hustler, Normandie are all in south central LA. Hollywood Park is right next door.

I play online a ton. I recently went to the Casino for my 4th time and pkayed for 13 and a half hours. I loved it and am going back this weekend. Its an hour or 2 hour friv depending where Im at so its not really that close unfortunatly.

ski · #10 09-14-2006, 01:30 AM

Its different. I'll be the first to say that I'm not THAT good at poker, but I can 8 table 400NL for ~$400 an hour (inc RB).

To make $400 an hr live, I'd probably have to be a much better card player.

But, most live players can't do math/logic and make decisions as fast as I can seeing 700 hands/hr online. Also most live players tick me off, I can't handle hearing all the ridiculus [censored] that gets said at card tables and sometimes going an hour without playing a hand, online I can just turn off chat and have a playable hand at least once every minute or so.
