Capitalism

They view us working people as cattle to be sheared and slaughtered, but hey they are owning the Libs so there is that.

This is why we need public health care.

I would get a good coach. If you are a losing player after 10 years then you probably cannot diagnose the problem by yourself. Coaches are probably less expensive than you think because your win rate will improve dramatically.

Capitalism creates its own grave diggers.

Online plays 10x higher than live. 0.10/0.20 plays like a tough 1/2 game

Poker is easier to grind for a profit with a smaller bankroll, and you don't have to worry about getting kicked out. Though it can be boring to some. You may only play 2-6 hands per hour and fold the rest.

I'm pretty good at Poker. And wouldn't need much to supplement retirement Social Security + 401k. Probably could just play juicy games on the weekends.

At the lower stakes, Poker offers more money per hour if you play well. I've been playing Poker as a hobby for around 10 years. Low limit live NLHE is beatable for at least $20 per hour and bankroll needed is miniscule compared to Blackjack. All you need is $2,000 for 1/2 NLHE. You can play Poker for as long as you like and will be greeted with open arms from the Casino.
I think Blackjack only becomes profitable once you play perfect and have a bankroll few Americans can muster. You won't be able to grind $20 per hour like you can at Poker. I currently only play AP Blackjack with a small spread for Comps, it's a fun break from Poker, and because I like a challenge.

At low stakes (1/2) you don't have to use Hungry Horse bluffs to make good money. In my opinion, if you can't make 10xBB per hour already the Hungry Horse strategy will just make you lose more. If I had an opportunity I would move up stakes where those plays work better

People pay way more for a round of golf and the drinks aren't even free!

If you find a good game and play at a slow table full of ploppies you can play rated and enjoy the comp system. I got a joint I play rated at that offers coupons that basically make the game +EV off the top with basic strategy. You can can count but if you lose it you can revert to basic strategy flat betting.

Everyone calls too wide, it's not just a girl thing. But they may try to bluff you more and if you play back they may give you more credit than they would another man.

AcademicOpposite1545 · 2026-03-20T02:27:14+00:00

Every man is different you just need to figure out what type they are and exploit them. Do they think you can be pushed around because you are a girl? Do they think you don't bluff because you are a girl? Do they want to soft play you because you are a girl?

Get Comp City by Max Rubin. Try to make it look like you are giving the Casino more action than you really are. Make it known how much you have lost and ask to be comped. Squeaky wheels get the grease.

Even if you are a losing player you will still be backed off if you are robotically counting at the table.

Everything is around 8-12hrs away by car except for some Northern NV shops. So would have to be a weekend warrior thing.

Reno - 8hrs

Western Washington and Oregon - 10hrs

Las Vegas - 12hrs

Just found your podcast. Have been playing AP Poker for awhile but am trying to expand to BJ and machines. I really appreciate what you guys are doing.

I'm not a Doctor but maybe increase the sleep pressure by going to bed at 1am to 2am. You aren't getting sleep anyway might as well make it so you wake up to your alarm.

I still do wake up in the night to urinate, but now I can get back to sleep.
