Yo. They run some pretty good cash games in the Dedham area few times a week. Part of the Eastern Poker tour. Runs different spots each week but last night there were two uniformed police on duty so its pretty safe. The 1/2 cash games get pretty big and lots of easy money.

Might be something for you to look into if you haven't heard about it already. I can forward you the EMails I get. If I was a cash grinder I would defineely be hitting these when I don't want to take the drive.

Great read overall for a hungover Sunday morning. Keep it up!

I don't recommend any cash games outside of the casino setting for several reasons.
If ur a poker grinder it's ur job. If ur beating the game at a certain location...why change? Taking risks when ur bankroll cannot afford swingings it's a recipe of disaster.
I would recommend staying within a casino setting and expanding as the bankroll improves. I have played with EGC several times...and he's incredibly talented with an incredible understanding for the game...

Thanks man. Means a lot coming from one of the top 2/5 players at Foxwoods. Agree with you about sticking to casinos for now... convenience and security are great benefits, coupled with low rake and a large player pool. Not to mention free food and free rooms.


Last night two buddies of mine got busted for smoking at Foxwoods (which I never have and never will do). I had to call it a night early to drive them back to the hotel. The cops didn't get everything, so we blazed one up while I played online no limit and read about the silk road 2.0.

I had to get my Lyme disease medication from the car, only to be seen carrying a pill bottle past the front desk and be asked "so you brought the good stuff?" Not quite, sir.

Playing a session now, and will be putting in some serious volume through Wednesday.

You are the rake of this thread! jk, its not for everybody.


Decided 17 degrees was too cold to sleep in my car so I booked a sweet hotel room for $45. Getting some work and research done on the laptop, gym in the morning and then back to the grind for the next 3 days.

You are a young and sexy guy, why not just get a fat Friends With Benefits Sugar Mamma.

I'm being completely serious.

Fat FWB's-that-really-want-to-be-your-girlfriend-but-are-happy-to-take-what-they-can-get are one of the best kept secrets.

#1) They are very appreciative
#2) They try really hard to please in bed (and are very good in bed btw)
#3) You will be treated like a King
#4) You can come and go as you please
#5) They cook, clean, do laundry, and will put a roof over your head while you are in town...

all it takes is about 2 weeks worth of eharmony or match.com emails,
2 - 3 dates, and BOOM, you are in.

now you save on lodging, food, laundry, and you get BJs whenever you like...

Another alternative which is better though requires a little more legwork are ultra busy professional MILFs that are just looking for a no commitment boy-toy.

anyways, just more +EV tips from dgi

ROFL, Most ridiculous tip I have ever been given. I'll take a nice cute and smart girl, money or no money any day. Maybe one who likes to play $1/$2NL! You may be on to something with the MILF's though..... Watchout for the advice coming to your thread once I read it!

Most hilarious advice I've ever seen you post.

not really ground breaking, but still solid advice with great benefits.

I think the white culture is just catching on to this, but its been standard for a while now, and others would justify their relationships with bigger women with the explanation, "fat bitches need love too".

but we all know that they don't really care if they need lovin, they were just in it for the exact reasons you mention

I'm not talking marriage or even a serious relationship, I"m just trying to school you on some life tips.

When I was young, studly, and in my twenties, no matter the time or place I had anywhere from 3 - 7 women I could hit up for a one night stand any time I liked...

When you are young, studly, and in your twenties you have a lot of "sex equity".

The problem with young 20-something guys is they are too busy chasing the unattainable super hottie 9s and 10s model type women that make them jump through 4 - 6 months worth of hoops just to get to 3rd base. During all this legwork the 20-something guys pass up on tons of low hanging great bangable fruit.

#1) Girls that are 7s and 8s. These are the unpolished gems that you can make sparkle. Rather than waste 4-6 months of your time chasing dimes, you can land a 7 or 8 in less than 1/4th the time...

#2) MILFs. Women in their 30s are sexually similar to guys in their 20s. If you made it out of your 20s without banging a few 30-something MILFs then I weep for you. You get drama free great FWB relationships

#3) Fatties. Yes, fat girls need love too. They will treat you like a king and rock your world.

Obviously, when you are ready to settle down then by all means, chase that perfect girl...

But when you are years away from settling and don't need Ms. Right but rather just Ms. Right Now, the above tips are gold

now go forth and do great things...

yeah hoping to print some money in Thailand, but Im shifting from mostly live to online, but I'm pumped and ready to learn.

Im in China for about 5 more weeks and Im freezing my ass off and I have an apartment, so I'm also wondering how u survive the cold in a car?

Also you got any good book recommendations for poker that I could read up on the next month, I've been living off my Kindle the last month here...

China! I've been wanting to travel there. Thailand is in my future if poker works out.

I've only slept in my car a handful of times, if its cold I'll just get a room. Now I'm heading South.

All I know is live stuff. And not much at that. Here's what I've read:

Another Kid Another Dream
Living out of my car in Florida
Robfarhas blog
LLSNL anthologies (very basic but good fundamental stuff)
Galfonds G Bucks article
DGIs posts (that aren't about lowering your standards in girls or MILFS : D. )
Easy Game by Seidman

Yes, only one of these is a book. Patrick Antonious said he's never read a book, and he is one of the best in the world. Its mostly about inspiration to grind, to crush, and to make your own impact on the poker world. Getting better comes with time and focused effort.

Someone at one of my tables surprised me with an offhand comment, I'm sure he didn't mean it to be impactful or important.

"One year of experience 20 times, or 20 years experience"

I'm fairly certain this one sentence is the only thing you ever have to know about poker
