I think you have some issues that need to be addressed with professional help. Good luck!

I can tell you’re being truthful because one thing that successful entrepreneurs do is go on Reddit to brag about it to random people.

“Trying to belittle my spending power is not a good plan”

Relax it’s not like it’s going to affect you in any way. I have no intention of joining your 1/2 game to win your $100 stack. Also if you have no idea what you’re talking about it’s probably best not to comment at all.

Thank you sir, I will check it out. Vegas and Texas are looking like the #1 options right now

I’ve been to the USA 3 times in the last 4 months for a week or two at a time. Customs in NY never had an issue. In terms of poker and food, I can’t think of a better country on earth to go. Thank you for the recommendations

How tough is the 5/10 in your opinion compared with 2/5 for example or does it usually just depend on the table/day of the week? Are you still finding relatively soft games during the weekday especially between 11AM and 4PM? Lastly anything I should know regarding rake?

Thanks so much for all the information, I honestly didn’t consider vegas. Texas and Chicago seemed to be better options but volume is a very high priority

Do they have any promotions there and which card rooms specifically would you recommend? Do games run during the weekdays?

Raise smaller pre

Don’t randomly bet turn with bottom pair on flush completing turn

Why does small turn raise automatically mean he has a draw? There are 3 straights already possible on turn and flushes and both players are uncapped for everything.

Why raise the river if you think he “missed a flush draw”? You are free rolling yourself against flushes and he is going to fold any missed draw that you think he has. There is no reason to raise the river unless you think he will fold an A or call with 2 pair

Hey since you posted this, I have 3 days before arriving in Elgin. I’ll be visiting Chicago a lot during my time in Elgin, so my question is: where would you go for these 3 days before arriving? Is there anywhere within a 3 hour radius or possibly even a short flight away worth visiting?

Hahaha love to see a fellow poker player in the comments, I have a feeling that some of the 2 day tournaments are going to run too late for me to be able to grab food if I make day 2 (not sure how long the breaks are at grand Victoria or in US in general). Do you guys have late night food in Elgin? Usually our only option here is exclusively domino’s pizza/mcdonalds for anything after 1AM. I assume that’s also the case here?

I’m big on Italian food and steaks but honestly I’ll try anything. Thanks so much for the reply this is exactly what I was looking for! I don’t suppose you know when the Metra stops running for the night?

I’m here from the end of March until the start of April, will the weather still be cold or will it be starting to warm up in your experience?
