The plan:

• Play roughly 35-45 hours a week.
• Manage bankroll to move up in stakes.
• Play at the Wynn in Macau since their rake is the lowest (albeit still super high).
• Log all poker activity into Google Sheets with notes on each session.
• Need to look for a place to stay that is not a hotel since the ones I want to stay at are roughly 550-950 HKD depending on the day of the week.
• Play a TAG/ABC style mixed in with Daniel Negreanu's small ball game.

Previous Experience:

Break even to small winning player at 200NL live in Canada. (~2BB/HR) I have never actually tracked my live poker before, but this is what I am assuming since I have never lost my roll and it keeps growing very slowly.

Winning player (~13 BB/100 hands) for stakes up to 10NL on Stars. I have the holdem manager data to see this.

Why?

Been looking into this for about a month, now I have the chance to put it into action. I have experienced the Wynn 5000NL HKD game for 5 days. From my observations: there are few regulars and a lot of recreational players or just....pure bad players. They have been easily readable. It seems like only one or two players excluding myself at each game take it seriously. The players there lack turn and river play. They give away their hand strength frequently with various tells. The others are just there to play for fun. I need more sample size to see if the game is actually as easy as it has seemed for the last week.

My weakness.

On day one I was playing a LAG-ish. Had to remember how to play poker again. Over the next four days, I paid off two Loose Passive players who made big bets on the river. I think it's good to assume the rec/fishy players are not good enough to bluff pots and usually have close to the nuts if facing a big river bet. I need to play the game more and study more on 2+2 and other resources to submerge myself into the live cash game life.

The poker activity can be shared if anyone is interested. Just PM me your email and I will be happy to share.

where do you live? what are your monthly expenses?

Currently I am in Hong Kong. Monthly expenses are super low. I am living for free with family. I would say I spend about $500 getting to and from Macau a day including food for the day. But I am thinking of just spending the $500-$800 a night on hotels a night for the considerable while if the game is beatable for 10+ bb an hour.

subbed, where you from in Canada? Do you speak chinese? mandarin? cantoneese?

good luck to you. Don't give up.

It costs you 500 a day to get to Macau so 15,000usd a month ? Wtf

Pretty sure that would be HK $
