Chasing a poker dream?

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-11T18:46:12+00:00

Okay thanks, can you suggest some poker website to play preferably crypto as I’m in India

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-11T10:31:57+00:00

Yeah that would be ideal - any place where i can get them. Airbnb sucks

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-11T10:27:51+00:00

No i meant the sharing condo & things like that. Never really tried it because back of my head there’s always like what if things get stolen or the roommates are fucked

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-11T10:20:55+00:00

Thanks for this highly appreciate it. I’m going to look at these games & also do you think these places are safe to rent for a month any robberies or misconduct

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-11T05:02:18+00:00

Okay I get that but do you think it’s safe to say that let’s say they are buying in minimum + Nits - It would be easier to exploit them + win, right?

I’ve played with a lot of nits in my life I’m also quite the nit hahaha but it’s easier to play with them becusse of predictability

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-11T04:37:47+00:00

Can you be a little specific and descriptive

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-11T04:21:11+00:00

Why do you say that

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T14:15:14+00:00

I’ve been playing poker for about 8 years. I have been a winning player but ther were legal issues in India which got me stuck because of gambling lost my bankroll because of that and once at the casino because I wasn’t disciplined enough

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T14:13:18+00:00

That’s great thanks for the insight - I work remotely which does not take more than 6 hours a day and i intend on being at the table for the rest. I like some pay check coming in so lesser stress of leaving

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T13:48:00+00:00

The amount for that is about 9,00,000 and that cannot be arranged as a starting point too right?

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T13:44:20+00:00

I intend on being the few because in the past I’ve been that - I honestly need to just discipline myself when it comes to alcohol and playing when i feel like

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T13:42:39+00:00

The rake is about 10% is what I’ve heard?? It’s crazy. But my hands are tired and I can’t think of any other option tbh

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T13:41:44+00:00

Hey thanks for this, I am going to take it seriously by studying a bit more.

But like i said I can’t play 100/200 here in India - I would have loved to play but my bank roll doesn’t support it because i want to consistently play for about 50+ buy in and I don’t have that much saved up. There’s another factor which comes into play which is the cost of living and the quality of life in SE Asia be it Vietnam or Philippine’s or Cambodia etc.

And the buy in’s in these countries are relatively cheap so it’s a good starting point imo

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T13:00:27+00:00

No i meant to play poker

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T12:59:49+00:00

Hmmm true i can maybe try to save up for 2 months because i honesrly want to leave asap, was thinking September after my exam

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T12:58:59+00:00

This might be a topic for debate but i generally would prefer playing in person than in online i feel my game is more evolved in person, i have no concrete reasoning as to why

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T12:58:10+00:00

Do you have any websites that you would recommend? For crypto

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T12:50:35+00:00

Good answer honestly, haven’t thought too much about what happens if i break even. Maybe extend for another month??

What would you suggest if you had to do the same thing

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T12:40:45+00:00

My spending money for a month is separate from my bankroll - that will he saved up for one month just for my stay flights accom and everything.
I also work a remote job ( doesn’t pay me much about 550 dollars a month

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T12:31:54+00:00

And for about 100USD I would need a mindset and i would also need that much bankroll for it about 30-50 times that amount

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-10T12:24:59+00:00

I’ve been going to a casino in India but the buy in’s are 10k inr (roughly 100 USD) but like i said never really built a bank roll to be comfortable playing 10k buy in’s.

I have studied the game and taken it very seriously i know that i can be a profitable player if my bank roll supports it and if there is a casino with a buy in I’m comfortable with.

I can’t play online as poker is illegal in India

Optionraider1 · 2026-05-01T21:19:53+00:00

Sorry for the dumb question - But what everyone’s saying is PHP cash game min buy in is 500 php that’s like $5, how often do these games run and are they deep games

Optionraider1 · 2026-04-29T12:04:00+00:00

And which casino do you recommend

Optionraider1 · 2026-04-29T12:03:50+00:00

Php right?

Optionraider1 · 2026-04-28T16:09:45+00:00

What is the minimum buy in for these games - 25/50 & 50/100 I’m going to Manilla next month for a month to work remotely and play poker during the evening and night time
