Good luck to you, Ice. It's going to be fun checking in here and seeing how you're doing. My advice, if I'm qualified to give any, would be to learn limit poker and spend a few hours a week grinding away at that. Mandalay Bay has some loose games with drunk tourists. And after that, you can always learn NL, but it's a tough animal. Sounds like you have the make-up to sustain a long stay in that town, but don't lose your Midwestern roots. And make sure you save a little time for that beautiful girl.
Thanks buddy. Once again I apologize about the whole bash thing, weird nite and time just flew by. Would have loved to share stories with you but I am sure we will one day.
The thing with poker is what I am hearing from everyone around here is how easy the games are. Here is the big problem: I am the fish that everyone is talking about. I need to learn an effective type strategy that wins a little bit of money while I am learning the game. I have the time for it but not sure if I have th patience as I think this could take a long time to learn how to be a winning player. Trying to get fezzik to teach me his short stack strategy that he more or less guarantees win but it sounds like a true grind. I will probably try that first. I know another guy from the Rx who has more or less said he would teach me limit and like you says it is quite easy but like I said how long will it take for me to start winning any money.
Talked to a few well respected posters who live in town and they talk about playing blackjack and that it is the easiest game to make money at. I have decent knowledge of that game and it seems like something I could learn (counting). I will probably pick one or the other (poker or BJ) and go with that for a few weeks.
As for making it out here, I hope so. I dont plan on being here more than 2 years unless everything is perfect here and we love it. Ideally the whole sportsbetting world goes back to the neteller days and I would like to live a simpler area in the U.S. Somewhere with some land and tress, that has 4 seasons. as I love the changing of the seasons.
The goal is simple here for me/us, too make as much money as fast we can and learn as much +ev gambling type things along the way. I also hope to make some great contacts with the best of the best in this field. I love numbers and gambling/investing. It gives me a borderline high. I hope to always do something with it, be it with sports or maybe one day day trading other type markets. I hope to meet people that can help steer me in those directions.
