Re: I have quit online poker and specialized in live play (semi-long)
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] Can I ask where you play? I didn't know South Central LA had a poker room? [/ QUOTE ] 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.

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. -McGee [/ QUOTE ] 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.

Hollywood Park is right next door.

[ QUOTE ]
i moved down to AC to play live, but have switched to mostly online. I play NL though, live NL games arent worth it unless im playing 2/5NL or up which i dont have the BR for. I make more online per hour multi-tabling 50NL than I do playing 1/2 NL live. [/ QUOTE ] You went through the trouble to move to AC in order to play poker but you don't have the BR for 2/5??? [ QUOTE ] Theres way more action in live poker [/ QUOTE ] FYP [ QUOTE ] People in poker rooms are annoying. A lot of them smell, are degenerates, and are just not pleasant to be around. If you need to "socialize" when you play call some of your friends over for low limit home game and donk it up. [/ QUOTE ] True... Earlier today I picked up and left an EXTREMELY juicy 10/20NL game at the commerce because the guy sitting to my left had absolutely unbearable BO. Although I have met some good people at the poker tables who I would actually consider hanging out with under normal circumstances.

Re: I have quit online poker and specialized in live play (semi-long)
Great description of Fresno. And, totally accurate. I lived in that area for 30 years and now I'm hard pressed to go home to visit my mother, who I love very much, because it sucks so bad.
All the casino's in LA are in real garden spots. Driven the streets of Commerce lately? How about Inglewood? Gardena is a real prime baller spot. And Hawaiian Gardens, phew, awesome! There ain't no card club in Beverly Hills.
