Can this be Possible

LaughLinMan · #1 03-22-2007, 03:41 AM

So let's say I have played online and won from stakes as high As NL400, Could I make a living starting at 2/4 or 3/6 LimiT with a 3K bankroll, planning on playing 16 hours everyday until I learn reads and tells then move up to the Nl games once I hit 6k. ( I know people gonna say 18 hours a day is impossible right? I did it for over a year built a 100$ roll into 20grand got involved in drug's and blew a bankroll it's been a year ready to play again just live. My rent is 250$ and I woudnt drive far, my car is paid off and I dont see many outgoing expenses then gas that takes me 4 minutes to get to laughlin casino's.

My other question are, are these low stakes beatable due to the rake, I dont plan on ever tipping a dealer (Unless I get lucky and outdraw which is rare)

This is a serious life change to pursue my dream I just need to know if it's possible. So basically If I could make 1000$ profit in these low stakes monthly. I did the math it would require me to average a $2.25 cent profit each hour. Is this possible Im not familair with casino play? I know you might say 2$ is so cheap why not go get a job? Because I dont consider this work and I would be playing 16 hours a day 4 free and I know once I get the roll up I can beat these NL 2/4 games and make some serious money with the dedication I have to this game.

Looking forward to some knowledegable replies.

This is the worst idea I have ever heard. I'm not even using hyperbole. Like the worst EVER.

If you blew a $20,000 roll on drugs, there is no chance that you have the discipline to grind it out for $2.25 an hour playing 3/6 limit.

My quick math indicates that it would take you like 100+ hours a week at 2.25 an hour to make $1000 a month.

Come to think of it, you must still be in to drugs to dream up a scheme this freaking dumb. You'd be better off robbing a bank and taking your chances that way.

Nevermind the fact that you plan on sitting at the table 16 hours a day w/o tipping the dealer like a total azz.

I dont see nothing wrong with it, the dealer has no control on what hands I get or dont get due to the fact I tipped or not. It is also my belief only to tip when I outdraw.

Their is no rule to tip the dealer, do You tip the lady at walmart who bags your purchase or the bagger at savon's? Thank you very much.

My question was if I did all those things I suggested is it possible to beat those games in the manner I need. I have more dedication than any man on this planet, partly due to my ocd and the fact I have a extremley addictive personality which lead me to the drugs I been clean a year, I live in the Nations 2nd most meth abuse area and been clean, Instead of harrasing me over tipping a dealer and calling me idiot explain why rather then your 12 year old response.

I have had the discipline to conquer 1 of the most addictive drugs known to man I Believe I can concure this task just trying to find out if it is a concievable approach.

Then you need to find another living other than poker.

Seriously. I'm trying to help. Addictive personalities usually can't handle the grind, they need the action.

I should know. My father is one of them.

if you don't tip the dealer then you will experience constant verbal harassment from the other players, and maybe the dealers too. sounds like it'd be pretty awesome for 16 hours a day.

if you really want to play limit in vegas then multi-table online and get a year's worth of 16-hour-a-day vegas experience in a month.

I know what im capable of and appreciate your reply but I know Im capable of grinding out for year's and hopefully maybe 2-3 years in I can take some college course's.

I grinded my way from 100$ to 20k and lose it all with no emotion other then the fact of utter disgust in myself. I know Im a very solid player and Im not anxious for action , before I even played poker I was a talented chess player in the LA Area, I only played for the pure satisfaction of outsmarting and outthinking another human's mind just Like I attempt to do in poker. This is why I have always been fascinated about taking psychology classes which is in the master plan on playing poker. If I can grind it out enough to pay for my schooling get my degree and realize poker isnt for me (WhicH I doubt) I can do my 2nd dream o f being a psychologist. If I intend to play pokrer after I think the schooling will improve my games mentally and even perfect read's and visual tell's.

You clearly didnt read my post, did I say vegas and didnt I specially say "Live" I played online and I plan on impoving my game on read's and tell's. Online only offer's betting patterns and gut instinct. This is not about the money if it was I would play online it's about getting better and achieving a dream.

Im sure someone will say if it's not about money then why not tip the dealer, like I said it's a believe and the dealer has no control of a outcome of a hand that being said why should I tip them because as far as Im concerned I never been tipped in a any of my previous job's and never expected 2. They get a paycheck like everyone else if they dont like it leave the dealing industry.
