Just add him on facebook man... if you don't have an account, create one, it's worth it ! I'm about to rate this thread, 5 stars on your way sir. GL. I wish I had your patience to play profitably live, but I usually get bored and play way to loose. Keep the mega nit style, it's obv the way to go.

You should make a stop over at Tunica if you ever head north. Get a room at Bally's for 19 bucks until you build up some compage. Limit poker has about dried up there though it seems

Re: living out of my car in florida...

posting in potentially epic thread

OP this is awesome and the games seem super soft. what's the max buyin for the 1-2 games where you play? How much do you sit down with? What the average table look like as far as stack sizes?

I'm also curious about the sleeping. You say you sleep on the beach during the day...isn't it crowded and noisy? How many hours/day do you get?

Sick life dude good luck!

Question: Why aren't more people doing this? I guess online is more profitable?
yes online is more profitable, but its way harder. but you have to put in more work. this is easy here. lots of people do this.

but gl op, will follow

But were not doing it, were sitting here reading about it, however Mike is doing it, and thats whats cool.
This is it exactly. I’m experiencing all of my degen fantasies through this thread without leaving the house.

What rake do you pay? How much are you expected to tip?
The rake is insane bc of the bad beat. Ausie millions huh?

I buy in for the max, which is 200. Lot of short stackers here which is annoying. Sleeping sucks, Ive been sleeping in my car at night time the past few days. I get like 8 hours as opposed to the 5 I was getting on the beach during the day. Security people always knock on my window though...

Re: living out of my car in florida...

Had a starbucks egg salad sandwich and banana nut bread for breakfast. Slept in my car on 16th street tonight. I played two sessions last night, first one was 2 hours and I won 103. We ate and had a banana split, then watched the fountain show. The second session was three hours and I was up 135 when this hand happened, I was utg and it was my last hand. I had about 350 in front and limped with 77. Table was weak loose so I decided to try to set mine. 3 limpers. Flop comes A K 2, two spades. Checks around. Turn is the A of spades. Checks to me. I bet 8 trying to just take it down right there. One caller, everyone else folds. I put the middle aged guy who called on a naked spade and planned on check calling any non spade river bc if he paired up on the river he would have showdown value and check behind. If he bricked he would try to bluff the river. The river came the 7 of spades. "bink" I thought. What a perfect card. There was 30 in the pot. For some reason I got all Phil Ivey and decided to get the uber most max value out of my hand. I though if he had the Q of spades he was going to call any bet I made. I open shipped! Before I shipped I looked at his stack and saw one stack of red. He snap called and tabled KK. Wtf! Jesus Christ...I was just pwned. I value owned myself on the river like a fool. I thought I played the hand pretty well and yeah I tried to get max value by betting 3x the pot. Its live, stuff like this works all the time. Well it turns out he had 6 greens under his stack of red. So it turns out, I bet 250 into a 30 pot with sevens full trying to snap off a Q of spades and got called by kings full. He limped ep with kk. checked the AK2 two spade flop with a set of kings, flat called my 8 bet on the turn when he filled up, and called my 250 bet on the river! hahahah what a sick hand. I felt like such an idiot. What a cooler river card

What really gets to me (even though it shouldnt) when i have a hand like that is that Mr. Limp Behind With Kings is going to go home congratulating himself on how cleverly he played the hand.

Re: living out of my car in florida...

Hey man going to be sitting at the 1/3 table in Mardi Gras tonight. Min buy in is 100 so it eliminates the super short $40 stacks that HR has. Much better atmosphere in the room as well which I think makes me play better.
