people getting free bingo stuff, free slot play, table match play, food comps, checking with their hosts etc and I think different bus comps, and some just can't handle the hard to use kiosk

NH doesn't allow NL cash games. And the limit games only go as high as $4/4 I believe, or something like that.

ya this.

Believe me this is not something Im excited about but im kinda in a ****ty spot and cant move out of the country to keep playing online so this is my only realistic solution for now, im definitely worried about my commute during the winter also and im also worried about being able to transition to the live game from online and make enough to live off of but I dont really have another choice as my degree isn't really useful for any job over 40-50k a year (history lol) and using poker as my only source of income for the last 6 years online has left me with a pretty huge blank space in my resume.

Anyways thanks for the serious replies i really appreciate it

Before committing to rent, perhaps consider hotels/staying @ f/w? That way you can see if you can handle the live environment without signing a lease or anything. You can get comped rooms midweek fairly easily. Lots of info ITT about that. You earn enough comp points to get food/rooms. Comps are getting reduced and are less available in the summer. The 2trees midweek rate is usually pretty cheap. I get Mon-Wed free rooms and I barely play.

I'm sure you will crush with your skills/fundamentals from online. However, so few hands and the slowness of the game is tough for me. I usually go on tilt due to boredom and play too many hands/overplay hands. Its easy to deal with downswings online since you get so many hands it doesn't take that long to go thru it. I can't imagine some of the online swings I've been thru occurring live which would probably be soul crushing since it would take so long timewise to go thru.

Good luck to you!

Use Priceline's "Name Your Own Price." On a non-holiday weekend, $30 should get you a decent (used not so loosely) room. Stay away from Hotwire, which has the hell hole Flagship Inn listed as a 2 star hotel.

I didn't mind the flagship in 2006. Has it changed for the worse?

Hey guys, pretty new here so I apologize if this is not the right place to post this.

I'm planning on playing pretty often at the Woods this summer, assuming I don't get a real job and/or go busto too quickly. I'm just curious how the comps work. I plan on playing $1/$2 NLHE 200max 99% of the time. How many hours do I have to log to earn points for food and rooms or whatever else they have?

Sorry if this is a really stupid question. Wasn't sure where else to look for the information and figured it would be easier to post than spend time trying to find it in one of the 451 pages of posts on this thread.

Thanks!

The 1/2 is 300 max. You will get $1.50 an hour in comps. As far as free rooms, who knows? I got free rooms after 2 weeks of regular play, others take longer

Dam, forgot it was 200 max. Thanks for the info on comps.

Just curious, what do you mean by regular play? About how many hours per week did you log to start getting free rooms? And were you playing 1/2 or a higher limit?

Thanks!

Im sure that it is different all the time. I wish that I could crack their comp code. I just started playing 2xs per week and started getting rooms almost immediately but my husband has been playing 6xs per month or so and he hasnt gotten any room offers.

I sure am feeling the aftermath of black friday in the poker room. Crazy kids pushing every draw, never folding top pr, etc. It bit me in the ass a couple of times tonight but overall, I am way up since D-day.
I just wish that the poker room would get a clue and schedule more dealers!

ETA, I see 10 posts per page and that is fine by me.
