Origin Story

I got free 6 bucks on GLOBAL POKER thanks to weekly $1 and $5 BONUS from weekly login. I had a big edge in the $1 jackpot spins and ran it up to 30. Then I realized I was never going to make any serious cash playing the $1 spins and started playing the $5 spins. I got up to 55 or so and then went down to 0.

But then... I still knew I had an edge. So I put 20 more onto GLOBAL POKER and used my edge to win all of the 100 dollar JACKPOTS I got involved in. (I did not win the 250 JACKPOT I got involved in)

Earlier in the month I had hit two jackpots with my free monies, one on a $1 spin and one on a $5 spin. But I got 3rd in both.

So anyways fast forward and I made it up to 655 then dropped down to 600 and got scared and withdrew 600. Took a couple days

The Home Game

A couple days later I went to a home game with my 600 to play LIVE POKER for the first time EVER. I put 200 on the table in a 2/5 game with 15 dollar BOMB POTS every orbit and a 10 dollar button straddle. I ran it up to 450... then got COOLERED down to 130 or so. I looked around at the other players and again knew I had an EDGE. So I put my other 400 on the table

Left the game with a couple bucks I think 1050 or around there. Spent 100 bucks on a photoshoot so 950 left in the poker bankroll about

The Casino

Now I want to go the CASINO... BUT I WORK WEEKEND NIGHT... ****!!!!!!!

So I'm thinking about going on a couple weekdays! I don't have a car so I need to use my partner's car and pay them or rent one.

I will sleep in my car to save cash. And maybe bring meals in a cooler. I am allergic to a lot of stuff anyways so hard to eat out

Still the gas will cost me about 80 and then if I need to rent a car that's another 180 or so and then random expenses like maybe I want to get the cheapest dish at a local pub. So it's like a full buyin to get to the casino 300 let's say

Once I am there I will play 1/3. The max buyin is 300

Financial Situation


Liquid funds

I have 120 in PayPal
200 in my Bank approx...
900 poker bankroll

Immediate expenses before casino

Need to get groceries (Will go to Trader Joes instead of Whole Foods)

-- Do you think 2 buyins is enough if I am competent and I play TIGHT. Here is my sharkscope -- https://www.sharkscope.com/#Player-S.../Elizabeth5799
-- Can you tell me what 1/3 is like at Cherrokee Harrah's NC during the weekday

Your liferoll is 3 BI, you have never played in a casino and have played live once but you have the hang of it, and to do this you're gonna drive 3 or 4 hours and sleep in a borrowed car.
Just don't do it. You're going to be a massive tellbox and you are woefully underrolled.
Save 10 BI and go for a few days with your partner, and don't sleep in the car.

$200 in your bank and you want to risk $900 of your poke roll live? I like this degeneracy. Let's get it!

Literally can’t got it’s up.

Woke up and my bank account had dropped from $200ish to $-3100. Thought it was fraud. Called bank. Wasn't fraud. Levy for unpaid 2015 taxes placed on my bank account

Called my friends at the tax place and got it temporarily lifted while hardship letter is sent to me. So that should be lifted tomorrow according to my friends at the bank place

Lesson learned. Never keep money in the bank. Always withdraw it cash

Poker bankroll - $900 cash
Life roll - $18 cash I had laying around

In, GL

This will end well.
