beat: live poker
So I decided to test the waters at a Toronto home game this weekend. The advertisement said $40 tourney (no rake) and the guy told me there would be some 5/5 and 1/2 nl action. Sweet, I'll bring $2k just in case.
Cab there: -$13 Tourney: busted out when QQ<KK preflop, ldo ($-40) Cash game: they only spread 1/2 (200 max) even though the guy promised 5/5  I figured, wtf I took a cab there...why not. No interesting hands... your basic crappy $1/2 NL game. Lots of multiway limped pots and people buying in for $40 and pushing all-in UTG with QJ for 20 BB. Total cash game winnings: $80. Cab back: -$16 Time spent playing cards in a dude's house: 5 hours Total profit: +$11...$2.20/hr sustainable? Variance: watched the MTV movie awards and the Borat movie and had some free Chinese food. Verdict: Live poker is retarded. From now on I'm not putting on pants unless it's NL500+.

a lot of those people probably work 9 to 5s and havent hit huge in a donkament so 200$ is a lot to them still [/ QUOTE ] there were a couple young "pro poker players" there. One of them was the dealer and dropped out of college. He tried to convince me online poker is rigged. Most of the others were young college-age or early 20s.
