The poker is shitty cause all the degens dont have disposable income, and the rake is so high the casino and the dealers take most of the profit off of the tables.

the food is healthy and the women are A+, being able to surf is cool and not going to jail for doing drugs is nice as well. If other states werent so keen on sending brown people to jail I would be more willing to move but cali is pretty sweet.

If I was white I wouldnt live here lmao, so yea
Where would you live if you were white?

also I take long walks while listening to stuff often and the weather is A+ year around.
I have been to one professional NBA game. I saw the Warriors play vs Kevin Durant in game six or something of the playoffs. Was dope.

I would live in texas if I was white. I tried arizona but when I shave I look mexican, and when I dont shave I look arabic, not a good look when border patrol is everywhere. Arizona has great gun laws and might be the best place in the country to pull women. If I were rob or randal I would move there

You're asking a poker forum largely white atheists.

Dallas, but it's North of Interstate 635 which in my worldview makes it Oklahoma (all the okies live up there).

Right before the action is on me I'm thinking this dude probably bet $3 on the flop because he has a 3 in his hand but if he actually has a 3 then why the hell would he only bet $5 on this super wet board, so that's why I stuck with my plan to raise.

River is an offsuit jack so board is J433J. At this point I'm thinking it's likely dude has a Jack, and how the hell can I have a Jack when I raised the turn so I abandon my plan to bomb river and instead just bet $25 hoping to fold out missed flush draws, missed Ax gutshots, maybe fold a 4 or other small pocket pair. Dude tank folds 3x bottom boat face up wtf?!

Screw that. I'm addicted to living for free (RTP living, FTW).

Quick math tells me that a full time poker pro playing at TCH will pay $26k/year in fees ($13/hr). That's pretty insane. I can't even fathom what it would be in Los Angeles.

Dallas hardly even has police anymore. It's turning into the wild wild west here. I suppose it's probably like that in other places too. Of course rich people hire the police to work some overtime patrolling their neighborhoods. Everyone else is SOL. Good for law breakers though.

Hotlanta fo sho.

No clue.

Arizona, California, and Texas. In Texas specifically I would say Dallas or San Antonio...maybe the Rio Grande Valley. Midland/Odessa when oil prices are high. I would exclude Houston only because who the hell in their right mind would actually want to live there? Excluding El Paso because it's pretty much New Mexico plus too many annoying border check points well inside the border.

gah

I feel attacked sir.

it’s normal to live for free until hs

I didn’t live for free in college

I’ve moved back in for like 2 months so far and can afford to move out whenever and still play whateva de fack I want

I like it at home though tbh so mostly indifferent

don’t respond to that

—————

yeah wouldn’t be surprised if $50k+ in fees are paid annually for a super high volume grinder including tips

Nah, I was being serious. I don't pay anything to live anywhere either. It's grrrreat!
"The Pen:" Live NLHE Chat Thread Quote
10-28-2020 , 06:23 AM
I bet it's a lot more than $50k when you consider all the rake that the lil fishies pay before the grinder stacks them.

honestly think it was a smart move. That’s $15k+ after-tax money saved that can be used to max out a Roth, invest in myself etc.

once I make stacks next year I can build a home in a Vegas and stuff

I’m fairly low maintenance anyways, I don’t really care what I end up making tbh

looking forward to turning 21 and this 2+ week Vegas trip right around the corner!!

some fun trip reports will be made.



can you guys feel my excitement

I could definitely see you living out of a Prius in Vegas parking garages just like Bikeking or living at Desert Manor in Downtown Vegas just like Trooper.

Nothing like the freedom of a professional poker player to be living out of your car!

That being said, the vagabond lifestyle of just living out of a van and hiking, fishing, golfing, skiing for a year or two sounds fantastic.

You have to have earned income to contribute to a Roth. Gambling winnings are not earned income unless your create an LLC and pay yourself. If you do, you're required to pay both the personal and employer portion of FICA.

All true except the LLC/pay yourself bit. If you file as a professional then by definition that goes on Sch C which means the SE tax is applicable. That income would qualify as earned and this allow retirement contributions

But don't need an LLC to do this (in fact I would GENERALLY) advise against it

Roth seems like the best choice before the income limits kick in down the road

yeah not sure if I understand you Venice?

professionals have to pay SE tax.

I’m pretty sure it’s Gucci if you’re modified AGI under one forty K

I read about this sheeyit for fun I’ll figure it out
