The first confirmed case in Floyd County Indiana was a worker at the casino. Hopefully he didn't deal poker, BS.

What's the thinking behind saying "AK got there" and then betting? Was it just thinking out loud or was it meant to induce a read or action?

(Knowing the results already.)

Usually when villain says "I don't have XX" while you're tanking, he usually has something else also close to the nuts but less expected.

Even though that river check-min-raise is always for value, getting 6:1 I'd still call and hope villain is overplaying QJ (even though pre-flop action suggests otherwise).

Seeing as your income comes from Lyft, you would be smart to cash out the chips and sit on some cash because you're going to be ****ed when people start locking down and stop going out. Being able to earn any money should be your greatest concern in my opinion.

If you do go back into stocks, don't try to cherry-pick some small company. Keep the risk low. Everything will go back up by the end of the year.

Yeah can’t cash out any chips at this time. Everything is closed. Once it reopens I cd cash out and double down. Maybe that’s the only chance at #50kl.
Yeah I’m an online fish. I cd out $100 on Ignition and see what happens tho. What games do I start w?

with a $100 br for online i would recommend giving $10NL cash a shot (0.05/0.10) and see how it goes for a few k hands. imo it's important to initially consider it more as a training tool than a source of income, at least in the beginning.

If you start crushing and can move up quickly that's great, but as someone else pointed out recently itt: I think the most common pitfall for winning live players entering the online streets is to start off trying to mix it up at $200NL online ($1/2) off the bat and get absolutely roasted.

imo the skill level of like $10NL- $25NL online is similiar to live $1/2 and $50NL online similar to live 2/5 (or maybe tougher than 2/5)

I think that for me personally, I feel like playing a lot of online cash significantly helped my live cash play a ton. It also helped speed up my decision making process so now I rarely have to tank live. Every decision just seems a lot easier after you're used to multi-tabling and having a shot clock.

I suppose if we're being optimistic, there could be an influx of live players coming online if the casino's stay closed long enough. Guess we'll have to wait and see. GL in the streets man

Dude 2/3 of your liquid assets are poker chips that you can’t cash in for weeks/months/ever??? Nobody knows what the world/economy is gonna be like in a few weeks or months. That’s an incredibly risky move with absolutely zero upside. You really don’t think you’ll need that $8K anytime in the near future??

Even if the casino is closed the cashier's cage could be open for limited time. How on earth you are holding on to so much in poker chips at this time is beyond me. It's the apocalypse.
