you're close to breaking.......RUN.........WITH georgies wife
Believe me I have been talking quite a bit to myself lately. You work so hard and then bam you are back at the beginning. The thing that got me going after I quit feeling sorry for myself is when I said okay this is where I am at and even if I had 10k more in my bankroll I would still have to keep "earning" or I would run out of money eventually. So quit crying and get back to work. Had to lower my bet size and slow down a little bit. Going to take longer to win it back betting less money and games but it will hopefully be a lot longer to lose most of it also.

Though I have did this very seriously for a few years now I still struggle with big losing streaks. They are not easy for me and I dont know why, I think some people are better equipped to handle it than others.

Jimmy baby, jimmy
I still have mixed feelings on the town. The traffic isn't that bad overall, but getting to & from the strip is a PAIN IN THE ASS regardless of the time of day. The crime here is supposedly pretty damn bad, but I haven't seen any of it.

This town will make you a fat ass. My God are there some good restaurants here, and they aren't exactly into small portions.

As far as starting a business, there's some non-casino industry out here, but not really that much. It's a gambling town, and that's pretty much it.

I forgot to mention that anyone with reasonably solid poker skills could make a living playing 1/2 or 2/5 no limit.

How much of a living depends on how long you can get yourself to sit on your ass at a poker table on a daily basis without getting bored to death and/or losing your mind.

Lived the life in Vegas for over 20 years...my daughter was born there in 1983 and it didn't cost me a cent since I was in Local 14...Vegas was a great experience and helped me get my start in the offshore business...

But a very much different Vegas today....too many beancounters and the crime is bad, especially with gangs that operate there...

Still recommend it for vacations and great golf...a lot of great entertainment also in the hotels...

Would the crime rate be equal to NY City as an example? The idea of gangs makes me want to forget the idea of moving there. Plus I get the idea from TT's post that parking must be a MAJOR problem on the strip.

TT, never seems to be pleased with the roads and traffic laws.

I think he misses CO where he can just do 80 all the time, run stop signs and the cops look the other way.
