Lost a fortune in the 2000 internet crash, literally. Lost another fortune in the '08 real estate debacle. Silicon Valley taketh and giveth.

ND is horrible.
Made 1320 bucks playing poker in 2014. It was my 2nd or 3rd worst yr in the last decade.

I really need to learn DFS; anyone want to help?

You play in person or online?

Used to be 90 percent live, now probably the other way around. Actually it's been like 9 mos. since I played live, sigh.

Really just lost the need to drive to Hammond once the games got less than INSANELY good and I became lazy.

Live is definitely where the money is at at this point, but I got the tourney bug a yr ago or so, and you just can't find/hold live tournies with good structures and reasonable Vig.


Literally a Big10 tourney on WPN has probably as good a structure as 500 dollar live tournament does in most cases. Poker rooms don't make crap on lower buyin tournies, and if they have to sacrifice any cash tables on a weekend, it's basically a loss leader to get people into the room/playing cash later on when they bust out or at other times.

Love poker but know my limitations. I know I have tells cause when push comes to shove I get owned much of the time. Especially when I think I have him read. May just be I need to know when to use my tells against them. But that's what separates the greats. Never was a math guy. Always respected the odds players. Sharpe Win more than they lose. No emotion. Just bottom line. I respect that.

I live 5 blocks away from the casino in Aurora, and hardly play there-- even though 80% of the people are donkeys.
Had the bug a few weeks ago and it took me 8 hours to make $100 on the 1/2 NL.

Learn to count cards in blackjack, it isn't illegal or even cheating to use one's own brain by keeping track of remaining face cards.

Worst that can happen is a manager asks you to leave, stating something along the lines of:

"I'm sorry sir, but your gaming style is not a match for our establishment".

I'd visit your casino, but am already certain that my photo has been circulated down there.:)
