i want to show people that winning 40-60k a year in 1/2 plo in vegas is possible


2000hours if you are a full timer and $20-30 per hour

Although i think i can crush this hourly


railing jackpan
danny sprung
stephen godfrey
at this napt 550 horse ft
the three best players
i expect at least two of them to podium

let the best players win!

the edge is so visible. So Visible.


kathy chang is the definition of a misreg

jesus


i tell you

the gulf between the good players and the recs here are massive

u can tell from table demeaners the way they handle betting n observing upcards etc.

jack and danny are so far above the rest

i recall kyte punting in last years 50kppc

paz is solid but still subpar

the other two players are just....

no offense but i can understand better now how hellmuth must feel watching some of these ppl beating him in tournaments.

who am i though right?

im the worst player in any lineup.


you know

you can judge the ft and think of a few scenarios how its gon play out based on skills n stacks

i had visions of mine in the 1100

same now for the horse

its so infuriating though - im seeing these hands from a completely ineffable lens


i love gambling.

i love my life.

gf's work - two employees fighting and she had to remove the one with the better temper aka the one who got pushed over. The other is my gf's relative... she just helped the one with the better temper relocate.

So many things - untold, unknown. Just win - in cash game, in tournaments, in the pit/sports.

Take is seriously. Good luck kid.


home game cheating, it's like chinese forced organ transplants for government officials

there is no cheating
there is no organ removal


going downstairs to watch gf play bacc 😀


holy **** this is complicated

i am trying put deposit in front money account at resorts world and they keep asking me if i wanna withdraw the 19k from napt. No....I know the rules....just trying to deposit 6k.....nothing to do w the tournament winning
Now i deposit 6k and they wont let me take out cuz my account is on hold

Oh my god all these restrictions....


oblivion
abyss
void

life is long, take it easy.

more poker journey to come.

my gf lost 12k in bacc today and she had borrowed 3k from me earlier.

scary even when it's not happening to myself.


Inspired in part by your thread, I played my first ever session of Big O, 4-8 limit kill. Two rack pots common. Folds post flop uncommon. Three quarters common. Lost 2 racks but thought I played fine. Of course self reflection is a poor attribute of losing rec players such as myself.

How tight do you feel a starting hand should be at a casino low stakes rec level (if there were pros i didn't spot them that session; plus the rake is unbeatable at these stakes, a big blind per flop basically).

For example: Do i only play AA or KK at least single suited? Are middle card wraps good enough? Is A2 playable on its own or does it need protection with 3456? Or play a high vpip and fold most flops? Thanks!

At $4/$8 O8 with half kill you can play wider ranges because the wider range of a competent player is still heaps ahead of the range of most of the people playing 4/8. Now in BigO, just be slightly more careful w other people also having A2.

I wouldn't play AA or KK if you dont have good low cards.
You cannot play middling cards, period - because you are either drawing for half or drawing for the bottom end of straights.
A2 is nearly always playable on its own because other side cards can make the highs.

ABC poker is the way to go, it's not hard. Just be disciplined.

I have A LOT OF hours of 4/8 limit O8 with half kill under my belt because I used to stay overnight at capitol casino after nlh and plo broke and I'd chill at 4/8 and wait for free morning breakfast. I think I was average minus $1.1/hr - obv I have it logged somewhere.

Now if you want to actually make some money, 8/16 is the way to go. Sacramento had such such great games. I'm sure they are still awesome now. It's action packed both in 4 n 5 card O8. Just play standard O8 strategy in a full ring game - stick to A2, A34. I have shifted to playing wider ranges esp at higher stakes where you need to actually play poker - but at low stakes, it's just playing the math, imo.

Thida Lin shared her result with me regarding her orleans 8/16 (idk the exact kill format) O8. Smidge over $20k a year and that's as expected. It's all about putting in enough hours and get a good idea of how you fare. But honestly, don't think anyone beating $4/8 w rake.


TY really appreciate the reply
