Re: Question: Why does everyone get so upset about \'The Juice\' In tour
It's only ridiculous to someone who's been playing (seriously) a long time. There are some of us (namely me), who have not been, and wanted to know what the big deal was. Now after this, I understand why.

Re: Question: Why does everyone get so upset about \'The Juice\' In tour
Think of it this way, if someone is looking at playing cards the same as playing the slot machines (for entertainment value), then its not something that I had really considered in the past.
I figured if I ever got anything over and above my buy in, I was a winner, and I never (until now) looked at it any further than that.

You claim you've been playing for 35 years. Do you know why casinos started running tournaments? [/ QUOTE ] I suggest you go back and re-read. I said I've been sweepstaking for 35 years. I've only been playing poker for 4 years.

Thus, if you spend 100, cash for 100, didn't you just double your money? Why does it matter what the house takes, if you doubled your money (or made even more than double your money)? [/ QUOTE ] Wouldn't you rather get back 120, 150 or even 200 instead of that 100? Man, this is a stupid thread [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Question: Why does everyone get so upset about \'The Juice\' In tourney?
[ QUOTE ]
I have to ask this, as I hear ppl get upset about this a lot, and have read in many threads, how some get really torked when they feel that too much 'juice' is being charged for a tourney. I mean if you pay 100 bucks for a tourney, cash for anything above that, are you not making money? IMO, its like if you buy a lotto ticket for a buck, and win 1k, that's still more in a day than you'd make at most day jobs. I've been a sweepstaker now for 35 years (since I was 14), and I've heard the same kind of comments from ppl about taxes. I've never understood it, because you are still making money. I like it (as a sweepstaker or a lotto player), when I have to pay taxes, because that means I won money, and all for either a buck (for the lottery), or the price of a stamp, envelope, and 3x5 paper or card. Casino's and poker tour directors/companies are in it to make money, and I don't think we would do it for free (or for next to free), so why should they? Can anyone explain it to me what the issue is why ppl get so upset about events that charge high 'juice' for them, when if you cash, many times you'll make more in a few days than you would in your day job? [/ QUOTE ] your words "still making money" as justification for high juice is retarded and suggests you don't understand basic math.

Re: Question: Why does everyone get so upset about \'The Juice\' In tour
"For the most part however, I've only recently been taking playing for a profit seriously. Prior to that it was mostly entertainment for me, so I enjoyed what ever wins I got.
That's changing for me, so hence why I asked the question about what the big deal was for high juice events, if you still made a profit (a profit bigger than the wages one would get in one's day job (and I make good money too at my day job I might add)) playing in them. " god woman, just think about it in long-run or basic ev calculations. are you from the midwest?
