Didn't you post in this thread under a different name?

I'm a little concerned about what might happen if you meet him in person, and then it turns out that he is too busy or not interested in hanging out with you.

There is nothing wrong with being a fan of the vlog. That's fine. Why not leave it at that?

I found a style for 1/2 I found pretty bulletproof. In a nutshell, make hands. Don't play for small pots, raise or fold preflop. It's as close to GTO as you are going to get against poor opponents. Remember, Tex Hold Em was created so sometimes players would play bad and still win. That's the whole idea, is you keep the fish on the hook.

And the really the big story with my game tonight was how I lost as a 250-1 favorite. No prize for this amazing bad beat. Running A5 no good. Had to be running aces or fives against my flopped set.

I still finished the night plus $400. But that's standard. I took an hour off, I went home and smoked a bowl ... maybe one diffence between me and Troop. Just chilaxed, let go of the rediculous bad beat I just took. Got Zen about it. Focused the anger. Wasn't anybodies fault, just a guy played really badly and got lucky.

Even as I was racking up my $800 in chips tonight i was saying, "I lost earlier, 250-1 odds, so. Not as much as it looks like." I was $400 in. Cause you know, 250-1 shots only come in like ... well, not very much of the time.

jfc dude

Oh, that would be totally fine if Trooper and I met and there wasn't a spark, or whatever you wanna call it.

He's like my long lost little brother from Florida that got addopted or something. I'm like the same dude. Like ... IRL. I dress the same, I grind poker. I am not trying to be Trooper, that's just how I dress, also. T-shirt, hoody, comfortable shorts, underwear ... i am good to go.

It aint often you run $200 up to $800 in a 1/2 game, after losing a 250-1 shot, I admit. I may be a little bit wired right now, but I can fix Troops game.

I don't think it needs much fixing, actually.

It's spring and love is in the air...
Seriously back off the meth for a day.

-the point is about what it costs to run the poker room-I really wouldn't be surprised to hear that Ceasars spent 90k(somewhere around $275 a day) supplying drinks to the room-so the cost of labor has to be included in that-we don't get to say "well they were going to hire waitresses anyway, so that shouldn't count"

Good idea. No meth, starting ... NOW!

Ok, in 5 minutes, can I have meth for 5 more minutes?

I have a background and an education in digital filmaking as well. I have a Masters degree from NYU.

ETA: off topic at best here, I apologize to the mods in advance.

Sorry Troop for the derail. When I move out to Vegas, you can put me in the vlog, if you want. Or not, don't really care ... Think we should hang out though, off camera. Pick up chicks. I would be an excellent wingman.

trooperfan, shut the **** up.

Even more off topic, looking for a job out there. 3 college degrees and a bad back. Prefer part time.

I'm sorry, I really am. I mignt have ADD.

exactly but this nitty clown wants to turn this into an in depth tax thread.people use the terms interchangeably in the us as well.it's a poker forum not a tax forum.

the bottom line is the labor is already accounted for on their taxes and if they are actually able to write off 1.60 per bottle for a bottle that cost them a few cents it's smart creative accounting and that doesn't mean the poker room is actually spending 90000 on drinks.

nobody gives a **** about your bad beats.

and when i saw you say you were a 250-1 favorite i thought it was a typo. then you said it three or four more times. you weren't anywhere close to a 250-1 favorite. boo hoo your 24-1 favorite hand lost. stop crying and trying to make your bad beat more dramatic than it was.

and tropper's game has tons of flaws-get off his nuts.

the point is they already accounted for the labor on their taxes then write off water at 1.60 a bottle that cost them pennies.

aria 5/10nl is 3k cap. venitian's i believe is 4k but they've changed that several times.

You are wrong. Trust me, I did the math because I was so stunned by it. I took an hour break to proces wtf just happened.

If you ignore the 3.8 percent chance, or whatever, of a tie ... he is .4 percent to win. Running aces or running fives. And not one of each, running ace five, I have a bigger full house.

Bout ... Two fiddy to 1.

look moron-I tried to explain it earlier and Im done-you obviously don't understand it has nothing to do with taxes directly -it has to do with properly assigning costs to be able to analyze a business-(also you have no knowledge of how a balance sheet works-charging whatever they do assigns labor costs to the proper place, the 1.60 or whatever they charge the table games/poker/slots shows up as revenue for that department-not a "write off" of the taxes)

Go ahead, continue to imagine that it costs $0 to supply beverages to the poker room.

I honestly don't know how much less of a chance to win in any other given situation where it isn't zero.

I feel like a heater is coming for Trooper if he keeps playing 2-5. The poker gods admire his courage. Trust me Troop just keep playing 2-5 and the wins will keep rolling. Plus it's good for the vlog

when did i say it costs zero you dumb ****?

where did i say labor costs 0?

if they're writing off 1.60 a bottle it's not for them to "analyze costs of running a business" because they're already analyzing labor costs. it's for creative accounting purposes to save them money.

and this makes it 250-1 (which you said over and over again)how?

i've seen people lose to running quads when they flop top set and someone ships it into them with an underpair.

Yeah but cmon, if he's getting 250:1 then he was probably priced in. Pot odds bro.
