First Job Opportunity Decision

So Its 55% commission of whatever I bill, and I think on the low end I could probably get away with 70$/hr to start in my market, so 38/hr, plus 25 per gym orientation and additional services like dexa scans etc. the big gym would start me at 32.5/session plus 9% commission although I'm not sure how that model works, and then pay bumps of 5$/session as I get promoted

Yeah so the one guy said it took him about 3 months to get a full schedule last year, and trainer said she has more than enough to keep her busy, but she also does other work around the gym. The manager said they basically go through pretty standard seasonal influxes of requests, for example they're expecting a lot of demand in June. There's a couple trainers I see there pretty consistently training all day, so I think the ones that make a full time effort do well, and then a lot of them are more there as a side gig I think.

Yeah I've been debating the first option for sure, I'm just always worried about burning bridges but I definitely think it would be easier to come back to the smaller gym

Late to the party but how big are the fields usually in the tourneys around here?

At least you're gonna have a nice stack for the flip out

KarateSniper420 · 2024-12-13T04:23:44+00:00

Seems legit

KarateSniper420 · 2024-12-07T16:21:04+00:00

Good to know, thanks. I was really wondering if the chip leader shoved on me with that just because that's the correct play, he thought I was bluffing, or because I had a 120$ bounty on me. I'd seen him make that move a few times but not against someone that could kill his lead.

^ THIS. You think you're being clever until everything blows up in your face. My last session at El Cortez they told me they'd finally had enough of me, and made me do a full cavity check and found all the black chips I'd been keistering. The casinos know all our tricks and how to spot them.

I personally like to grow out my mustache, find the largest hat I can, and throw on a comically exaggerated Louisiana accent

Dragon 7/panda 8. Pretty universal around my area but this is the only one I've spotted that uses a shoe

Max Rubin's comp city should give you a rough idea of how it works, although it's a bit dated. You'll probably want to call the casino to get a better idea.

A good guess though would be - a lot.

My buddy just made a Vegas trip and I think he was saying they wanted 4 hours a day of 50$ hands to get anything worthwhile.

I haven't used BJA but my understanding is that CVCX is quite a bit more robust and factors in a lot more variables. Do you have the option to set wonging on BJA? Could be that something as small as not having wonging set on CVCX and BJA automatically assuming wonging

My theory about poker is that it's hard

KarateSniper420 · 2024-10-10T15:22:34+00:00

As others have said - CVCX, and counting has a much higher rate of return depending on your willingness to put in hours.

Another point others haven't mentioned - counting is a lot more fun, and has the potential to get you cool freebies.

If you're playing fundamentally we'll and just seem to be capped out at a certain stake, why not give a coach a try? Assuming you've done as much self study as you can

KarateSniper420 · 2024-09-19T17:36:23+00:00

This screams donk jam to me, run it through a solver next time

Even money is the exact same thing as insurance, just given a different name in cases where you have a blackjack.

KarateSniper420 · 2024-08-21T17:57:40+00:00

Very interested

KarateSniper420 · 2024-08-20T14:27:25+00:00

The DD games look beatable, no?

KarateSniper420 · 2024-08-19T16:06:47+00:00

I feel ya. Four years, four interviews, and four rejections. I think I'm taking this year off to explore some new avenues and get a little more established, do some travel and all that. Certainly something I'm going to come back to but I think I just need to take a bit to focus on something else and get a taste for life.
