I mostly play 1/3 when I play (which was increasingly rarely even before the 'rona). That's mostly due to it being the only stake available most of the time, though I have chosen 1/3 over 2/5 a few times when both were available. Round here, the buy-in is up to as much as the biggest stack, so 1/3 often has tables playing as deep as the (only ever one) 2/5 table and much spewier Vs.

If I were playing live poker primarily for money, I'd move to the devil's game, as the PLO here is always a huge game with awful players.

My day usually consists of excel spreadsheets, chess, video games and working out. I dont even drink anymore.

I also stopped grinding a long time ago. You shouldn't assume things about people. Want to do a prop bet on who has a thicker W2 this year? I'd actually be surprised if you made half as much as me this year based on how you act. You aren't that important bro.

You're too much in the poker bubble where you've somehow created your own hype train and genuinely believe that you're "world class" in NLHE and some kind of baller because you sucked someones dick to get into a private game and you got phone numbers from a couple of pseudo-hookers.

Also before I quit poker I was playing 10/20 and 25/50, both NL and PLO. Live and online. Not sure what qualifies as "high stakes" anymore because I retired to do bigger and better things. I play poker for fun now. That's the real dream and one you'll likely never figure out

90 minutes of 2/5 NL under my belt tho. This was way back in the day (8 years ago?) where the game actually popped up now and again, and I sat in it one morning before my game got going. Winning at 15 bb/hr so quit cuz I found it too easy, ldo.

Or you could have opened it like a normal person with a reasonable open range, and stacks probably get in.

masks technically required, but some gyms are loose about and don't care. You can wear a light one over your neck. I usually wear mine over my face when walking around and then keep it under my neck when doing stuff.

I quit LVAC a looooooong time ago I hated it. I used to go to EOS but quit because it's too crowded even though its a nice gym. My place is always empty AF and does month to month, idk where youre staying but its 15-20 mins from strip.

Most places will probably be able to give you month to month during this time

Hit me up and lets get sushi when you get in

Thinking of writing a "How to Beat 2/5NL to the tune of 15 bb/hr" based on my *90 minutes of experience.

*ETA: Just looked up my stats, and I actually have *95 minutes of 2/5NL experience under my belt, so probably expert.

There is something to be said for the tilt inducing factor of playing like a rock and limp reraising.

The reason they still get action is that guys will lose it and start spite calling just to try to crack the rock.

Squid - Life Time Green Valley is 180/month with a two month minimum but the jacuzzis and saunas are closed. Mask policy is laxed just gotta use it when walking to and from locker room and main gym floor upstairs. I went to LVAC once and they accosted me when I didn’t put my mask back on immediately after my set.

Want me to give Rob your new number that you only gave out to your closest of friends since he has the old one still?
