Nice. Get a town car and you can make $40+/hr plus tips on top of your poker hourly when you bring clients to the casino. When you don't have clients, at least you're riding in style and are always open for business.

Where exactly are the casinos in MA and when are they expected to open?

Just curious. I grew up in MA but haven't been back in some time.

We're still in the process of getting licenses. There's going to be one out west, one in Boston, and the natives get one on the south shore. I think there's a big vote happening in April or May that could be the difference between construction starting sooner or later. I'm guessing we'll see casinos within three years from that vote if all goes well, but I'm an optimist.

I linked this thread in the theory forum and had a nice trip down memory lane. 🙂

I still think that the study of hands is where the fruit is. Asymmetrical range game theory is still in the adolescent phase. However with the emergence of solvers such as gtorangebuilder and pio came the downfall of minimum defense frequency. Making our opponents indifferent is no longer about value hands and bluffs, but rather maximizing our ev through all actions and ranges. Against most of our opponents, this means playing a pure strategy. This is a highly explosive style of love poker. Vs better opponents I think mixed strategies are necessary. This is apparent when our opponents play a mixed strategy. The very fact that they play a properly mixed strategy is what makes us indifferent to our options. If instead they play a pure strategy then we can exploit that fault by playing a pure strategy of our own.

Cheers. Hope you all come to join the party when they open the casinos here in ma.
