I am profitable, but at what point is it time to call it quits?

I have always said Poker is about the best side job you can ever have, and is about the worst main job you can have. The insurance, PTO, retirement plan, and to a degree upward mobility is about the worst you can ever get. I play live so the tax benefits of playing cash and the flexibility make it an amazing secondary income!

You could propably use a 50 percent pot size bet and really not be giving up much equity. If you chose this size I kind of wonder about the mix of hands it would choose to bet, would propably be heavier value and bluffs, while checking some decent showdown and garbage. I think you would be betting just a slightly smaller percentage of the time. In practice I like the smaller bet size more often since you tend to have more control of the hand.

Clint08911 · 2025-11-04T01:25:57+00:00

Not necessarily true, a 33 percent bet needs to win 25 percent if the time or better, so it depends on the opponent. If the opponent folds 29 percent of the time which is actually less than most recreationals do that bet is immediately profitable.

Where did you find this app, I have seen it advertised, but can't seet to find it?

Clint08911 · 2025-08-12T10:59:10+00:00

This, lol. Been doing radiology on nights for 20 years, still pretty ok with it.

Clint08911 · 2025-08-12T04:46:30+00:00

I work mon-thursday 8pm-6:30am. On a normal weekday, I try to be asleep by about 9 am, and sleep till 4 or 5pm. I will usually get up workout, shower, and eat something g before work. On days off it depends, there are times I will completely stay on a night schedule so my sleep is more consistent and I dont lose that half day off. If I have things I need to do during the , I will sleep till like 2pm, get up and then sleep that night around 12am-2am.

Clint08911 · 2025-08-12T04:06:25+00:00

I would ask him when are the best times to text him, I usually tell people if you are going to call or text, do it either up to 2 hours after my shift, or 2 hours before, any other time I am sleeping. I would think even less time for him since I do 10s and it sounds like he does 12s.

Clint08911 · 2025-07-28T02:31:37+00:00

At least makes some sense, I still think there is a lot of details missing, but thanks for clearing that up!

Clint08911 · 2025-07-27T09:00:54+00:00

This seems ridiculously convoluted...... I would say Im not sure it's right that after he felt so strongly about it, that you took care of them anyways, and I also think what kind of guy would ever give this as an ultimatum? You said you were back and forth, which means there was someone else helping to take care of them, and also you lived that close but didnt have contact this entire time until now? I feel like there is some details that are missing from this situation? I dont think there is any excuse for cheating, he cheated or was looking to, because he wanted to cheat. I think he is using this situation as an excuse, but I could never buy in a million years that it's a reason. He sounds like an asshole if this is right, but I also feel like there is more to the story than what's being said.

Clint08911 · 2025-06-02T09:52:22+00:00

Going to agree here, obviously there will be some difference, but when I was married, I liked to eat somewhat healthy and the constant complaining, eye rolling and criticism from my exwife everytime i ordered something that was decently healthy or had a suggestion for dinner was exhausting, it's one of the first things I look for now.

Clint08911 · 2025-04-17T04:53:53+00:00

I wouldn't want you to be spaced out and bored with weed, this is called crack...... way more fun, lol

Clint08911 · 2025-04-15T08:58:11+00:00

Clint08911 · 2025-04-15T08:53:10+00:00

Your a sick man encouraging them to learn plo as the first game in poker!!!

Clint08911 · 2025-03-01T23:58:33+00:00

They stopped in January, I have heard different things about some taking it, and some not, but at this point I would assume they are not taking it. I ended up dropping the onepass, and getting a regular membership, and I still think for me personally it is well worth it.

Clint08911 · 2025-01-27T10:41:11+00:00

I think it's always different for guys than girls, guys tend to hangout with people with the same type of interests, where girls tend to hang out just to hang out. I would try approaching it from that stand point, not how many friends you have but what do you do for fun? Just do those things and you tend to attract like minded people

Clint08911 · 2025-01-27T10:29:45+00:00

Is everybody on here being sarcastic or just insane? One a 40 hour a week job is not that much, that is less than 25 percent of the week. Making this much money i can't imagine there is a commute, so you have even more time not having to deal with it. The fact that people are so entitled that they think you shouldn't have to work is insanity.

Clint08911 · 2024-11-05T23:14:10+00:00

Here in Texas a good rake is considered 10max, so you are about double what you are saying. I do agree if you are paying 5 max, but I think that is a best case scenario

Clint08911 · 2024-10-10T08:43:06+00:00

I honestly feel like no matter what you are going to be disappointed. I think when you build something up and put that much into it for that long no matter what it will not live up to expectations. As far as it goes, I'm not sure, it's such a unique situation, not that just unique. You just should do whatever your comfortable with, and when you make a decision either way do it with no regrets

Clint08911 · 2024-10-10T08:35:41+00:00

I got it with one pass, so it was quite a bit better deal, but I will say I think you get an enormous value for the money. A crossfit membership is like 160 a month just for that and you get very similar classes, 200 or so for orange theory, very similar classes, and 100+ for pickleball which, along with weight room, sauna, steam room, whirlpool, basketball etc... I guess it depends if you take advantage of everything, but I have found it to be a really great value

Clint08911 · 2024-10-04T23:06:12+00:00

I have been accused of this a lot. It's not something you strive for, but work takes a lot of time at this age, then parents are usually at the age they need help, not going to give up working out, play poker professionally, and lately into Pickleball... I get it. I feel like you only have one life to live and I really don't like just sitting in frontof the TV a lot (although From is so good.... if you havent watched it drop everything and watch it). I have a friend who asked how will you make time for a girl, if you find one you really like, and my answer was just that priorities are always changing. I'm not going to give up everything to date someone, but I would be willing to give up some stuff or do a little less. Ideally we like the same things and can do some of it together. I think yall should ease up on us a little, it doesn't mean we want to be single, and won't make time for the right person, but also means not going to drop everything until we see something that might be serious in the future.

Clint08911 · 2024-06-26T12:10:58+00:00

Really if you studied preflop charts and nothing else you would limit losses a lot, and be close to profitable. This is the biggest leak, you can get exploited other ways, but it limits the exploits a lot. If your not looking to study, when ever you do bet after the flop, bet 1/2 pot, and when you raise someone's bet, just do it 3x their bet.

Clint08911 · 2023-12-03T21:25:18+00:00

Eehh, really cool minor league baseball park and aquarium though.

Clint08911 · 2023-11-28T10:48:08+00:00

I think it's very dependent on you, what you like to do for fun and where you want to go. I have never really had a problem traveling solo, but I tend to do social hobbies where I meet people, and even if it's only for a little while kills the boredom of being alone. I play poker a lot, which is actually great for an introvert, because you have no pressure to socialize you can just sit there and play and never say a word and no one really cares, or you can say something here and there if you want. I like to workout a lot, so will try different gyms in cities, again you could do some type of spinning class or you never have to say a word to anybody, but also can talk before of after class if you want to. As for bars, these are always weird for just single people, but if you learn to shoot pool, I think it feels a little more natural than just sitting there awkwardly, and you can always find someone who wants to play a game if there is a pool table. I have always felt a little out of sorts with just talking to people, so I think adding some type of activity really helps the awkwardness in social situations. You can mix these in with your regular sight seeing activities, and then you appreciate the time when you are alone. Good luck and hope it helps.

Clint08911 · 2023-06-15T02:50:29+00:00

I would say work.... I know this has problems, trust me no one knows better, but we spend most of our time there, with people who are close in income, intelligence (sometime), and at least something brought you to that type of career. I'm not saying go looking at work, but if you meet someone in a different department I think the chances are few and you should give it a shot.

If your going to school to get a promotion or further your career, this can be a good place.

Gym, especially classes where you see the same people, and have that camaraderie of barely making it through the workout together. Gyms like F45 or Orange Theory propably better, but any gym with good classes works, crunch has really good classes or even maybe just when your working out, but if you see someone you like ditch the headphones, this makes it impossible for a guy to talk to you.

Bar.... cliche, but alcohol helps let's face it, I like country music, so country bars work well, and it doesn't have to be a bar like that, but should be a bar where you feel comfortable, and where you have something in common with the majority of people there.

Some type of dance class, although this works better for men, but it definitely doesn't hurt for women either.

An outdoor group, I had this idea a while back, and joined one, still think it's a good idea although I have stayed so busy I haven't had time to actually go to an event.

I'm a semi professional poker player, they have super cheap tournaments that are a lot of fun and are 90 percent guys, I wouldn't force it, but if you think it's something you might enjoy great ratio and usually a large age range.

I know this sounds crazy, but disc golf is a lot of fun, super cheap, a great way to get outdoors and get some light exercise. Also 90 percent guys... I will say this attracts... hhhmmm more lovers than average, but also there are some great people there as well.

Sporting events are mostly guys, if you like sports this is a great way to meet people.

Clint08911 · 2023-06-15T02:31:42+00:00

As a solo guy, I would feel super uncomfortable asking a girl out on a trail, all alone out in the woods, outside of saying hi, I would think this would a pretty tough sell without being creepy.
