Put money for the bus ticket back away and enjoy your week. Stay if you manage to win enough to cover another week. If not, just return home.

Good luck man. Where/what are you going to play? Only a few casinos have 1/2 with a 200-300 cap. I think bills has a .50/1.

The Luxor? You could have stayed at the Mandalay Bay Spa for free....$400 for a bus ride and 6 days at the Luxor? SWA one way from San Diego is ~ $100. Good Luck.

Don't eat anything but complimentary soda crackers for first 2 days, purchase 24 hour buffet pass and destroy it, especially the last hour. Do like Clark Griswold's cousin Eddie and take a bag with you on last trip

I am generally one of the defenders of folks who do this, and in principle I'm with you. That said, it's hard to understand why you'd even think about doing it with that small of a roll, if only from a fun-and-excitement pov. Why not sleep on a friend's couch for 6 months, or move home or whatever, get 2 jobs, and put four or five thou together, then take your shot.

My reasoning here is that I'm thinking that the aspect of this that will be most valuable and satisfying is the experience itself, and the poker shot is secondary. If that is true ( and it will be I promise you) experiencing going broke on day 2 and eating Ramen in your room for 4 days isn't going to be all that great of an experience.

Either way I do wish you the best, and I hope you get the most out of it that you can.

With a winrate of 8 BB/100 and SD of 120 his RoR is only 54% (assuming he can live for free).

Except he isn't living for free. So he's a clear favorite to be busto according to your methodology.

Good timing. I'm coming back to town on the 24th. I expect detailed updates. Luxor probably wasn't your cheapest option, but it's an OK one. You can't sleep on my floor, but hcclubhopper has some carpet space for you he says you can have if you'd like.

Are you a winning player? What's your poker background?

Obviously he's a winning player or he never would have been able to get his roll all the way up to $1500.

lol I love this quote. The bus ticket and six nights of housing cost him more than a quarter of his total assets. There are more pressing issues than health insurance

One way or the other, this thread will be incredible.
