Good old Star city the first casino i was ever in when i lived down under back in 2000.

The thing with poker is that is just not exact science. For example, how do you calculate your edge against the rest of the players at your level? It will probably be an estimate. In blackjack, you know the house has 0.5% on you and you can calculate your edge over it if you come up with a strong strategy. How do you calculate your edge in poker?

In order to make decent money you need to play the midstakes where in today´s online environment is full of strong players who are probably using the same strategy that you are (unless you are the next Phil Ivey or Stu Ungar and have your own original way of playing)which transaltes into have 0% edge over the rest and only the house makes money with its rake (even with rakeback).
