LOL, i just realized he actually said that too, lol gl op. And no thanks.

Thirtydollar - what handle do you use on the PokerPro tables? (if you don't mind sharing)

are you interested in a roomate for vegas wrk?

Cherokee isn't your typical 1/2. The games are going to be much different in Vegas and there are distractions galore. You better have all your ducks in a row before you decide to move out west. Good luck.

Possibly, but probably not in your timeframe. I do have a full-time job, so I only play weekends when I can get up there - but the job security is not real good right now, so may soon be playing full time. I also have wife/kids, but marriage is on the rocks. So lots of unknowns right now...

If you table select well you should still be able to make well over $20/hr in Vegas. Especially when you find good 1/3 and 2/5 games. Only bad thing is you get only ~25 hands/hr instead of the 40+ you're used to on Pokerpro tables. Grind hard like 60+ hours/wk and you should build.

+1 to keeping aside $1000 to get home if the city busts you!

True that! Screw Vegas, I might even move to Cherokee myself now...

I have played a lot with OP. He's a good player. There's no question that he can beat the game. The games in Vegas are a lot softer than Cherokee which will make up for some of the loss in hands/hr. You have to really run bad to have a losing secession in Vegas. With that said, softer games makes for higher varience sometimes. Good luck man. Knock em out!!

I am intrested in moving out there once im done with school (first of may).

The question is how long is the rental contract, min of 6 months?

When ive played out there (2 weeks at a time) i just stay out of a hotel so let me know.

I would suggest buying a car once you get out there. That would be cheaper then renting or leasing in the long term. But you may have to rent a car once you get out there for the short term.

1/2 Grinder from Toronto. Working up the bankroll right now. I've made 2584 in 128 hours in the last two months with a win rate of $20.1875. I'm a full time student studying actuarial science. Life roll is decent
PM me your email address I have a couple questions I want to ask you

Hey op, I Will be in vegas starting the 27th of feb till the end of march. Im actually free until the summer (end of may) and if things go well i'll be willing to prolong my stay and share an apartment if you get a decent place by the strip. just pm me once you are certain you are coming and are getting a place.

I have no clue about all this comped stuff (in terms of hours of play or what properties are connected) you guys are talking about so you'll have to school me about it.

Why do you think the games in Vegas are softer than Cherokee? This is such a common misconception, that games are super touristy and soft in Vegas. If you're planning on grinding a living and not just playing during peak vacation times/weekends, you're going to be playing with like 4-7 nitty semipros most of the time, and before you tell me it's the same in Cherokee, the regs in Cherokee are not as good as the regs in Vegas.

I've played poker all over the world for the last eight years including four years in Vegas and the last six months at cherokee, and cherokee is definitely in the top 3 softest places I've played regularly. I think the players are considerably weaker than in Vegas.

The obvious benefit to Vegas though is that you can move up in stakes and potentially make serious money if you put work into your game. If OP can move up to 5/10 in like a year or two (many people take this path, many fail too though), he's gonna be making 3-4 times what he could make at Cherokee. Anyway, gl OP, don't mean to be a downer but just trying to give you realistic expectations that you're not gonna be printing money in Vegas games.

i agree, lots of pros at the belagio especially. Its like the Pokerstars of live las wages.

Just chiming in again that I'm coming out March 11 for 2 weeks to play and secure a place to live before I leave.
