So I've been studying and watching poker (mostly experienced poker streamers on Twitch such as Elky, Nanonoko, Jason Carver, etc) and have been learning which hands to play (depending on position, whether someone opened before you etc), how to determine opponents' ranges, when to c bet etc and alot more. I decided to add a bit of money on PokerStars to pay 1 cent 2 cent. I'm able to consistently rack it up, but since it's only a small amount I average about 70 cents to 75 cents per hour in profit playing 2 ZOOM tables nonstop (I prefer this over regular cash tables or tourneys because I like fast action haha). This average is from about 100 to 120 hours of so of playing poker. A week ago I began trying the 2 cent 5 cent ZOOM games (2 tabling) and played those for about 8 hours so far and am up by about $30, so a bit over $3 avg per hour.
Before playing with real money I started with play money. I bought something like 300k play chips for $3 on poker stars. Initially I didn't do well and lost like 200k. Then after learning from twitch streamers I played tighter and implemented pot odds/bet amounts etc.. and within like 1 week or so I ran the remaining 100k play chips up to 8M by gradually moving up in stakes(the play money cash games/tourney's are pretty soft).
I bought 3 poker books written by Ed Miller, Poker's 1%: The One Big Secret That Keeps Elite Players On Top, How To Read Hands at No Limit Hold'em, Winning Big with Expert Play. I got them for a pretty good deal at a nearby book store, only $15 for all 3. I'm sure they'll provide valuable insight to further improve my game. I plan to read them within a week, and after that I'm planning on playing live cash games at the Montreal Casino.
I was wondering, are there a good amount of inexperienced poker players at the Montreal Casino? I really want to check it out because I do live in Montreal, and since it's the biggest Casino here in Canada I'm sure a lot of people go there and play poker for fun, not specifically to make money.
I'm sort of confident that I'll have an edge over fun players, but I'm just not sure if the majority of people who go there are poker pros or everyday people who don't know all of the schematics and mathematics of the game (lol).
Anyone here ever play the $1 / $2 games at the Montreal Casino? Are the majority of players soft? How's the experience at the casino?
Would greatly appreciate any feedback you guys may also have from playing at other Casino live cash games. Thanks!
I have played at the Montreal casino poker room a few times, played several of their 60$ tournaments. Most of the players are nits...people too bad to go across the river to playground (where the skill cap is MUCH higher)
So if you are a good player, Montreal casino can be very profitable
