Mike is doing a great job, IMO, but its going to be very difficult for him to get the roll he needs to move up until he strikes a workable day-to-day balance between "real life" and poker.

+1

It would be interesting to see what stakes he would move up to if he put in a descent work week (30-40 hours). Maybe one day High stacks poker...if he only had the work ethic?

Missed you at the Taj saturday night. I made it over there hoping to find you. Oh well, maybe next time. You did miss a little excitment. Somebody grabbed a stack off the table a headed for the door, he was taken down outside...and carried away.

Mike, keep living it up buddy!

Can you share some of the reads you've gathered over your trip and play in AC? What things do you focus on when reading a 1/2 villain? This is definitely an area I need to improve upon and you've visited a lot of poker rooms and seen all types of players and I imagine have developed your ability to read very well.

Also, what things (reads your opponent is looking for) do you consider when you are bluffing or value betting a villain?

Hope this makes sense!

Thanks in advance and best of luck at the tables

Maybe one day I'll hit the road with you. Until then, here's to good variance. I'm drinking a Guiness right now in your honor.

Seat 5 announces her bet when she's weak, silent bet with strength. seat 2 purses lips and stops breathing when bluffing. Up $220

just read through some of this thread and gotta say it's pretty f***ing epic. I live in Atlanta and have been considering relocating to Florida to grind out the low stakes. is there any place in particular down there you'd recommend starting at OP? maybe a place with lower rake?

I lived out of my car all of Jan and Feb in Miami, stayed with a friend for April in Tampa and spent 3 days a week in AC and 4 days a week at my sisters place in NYC up until now. Visited Albany too. Grinding and balling out from time to time. One way flight to Vegas on June 3rd tho for the wsop!

26+17 u mean.

stay at tuscany IMO. Its probably about the same price, the rooms are much much nicer, even though its off strip, its closer to everything (except maybe wynn) than circ. and you wont get the aids from the bedsheets.
