I'm gonna start playing live poker again.

i use to think the old folks are the easy one. those are ones that got passed adversity.

I didn't mean any lack of respect. But you'll find the wealthy retirees sitting at the tables in the morning and just like everyone else most are just there to enjoy themselves. And that's when the limit tables are full and not full of sharks. It's generally slow easy money for a mathematical grinder.

Just out of curiosity and self interest, how much poker do you have to play at one property to get a free nights stay? i understand there probably isn't an exact answer here but just generally, how much do you have to play to get a comped room? i am asking because i am taking a trip to vegas in the summer and would be nice to get a free hotel room from time to time.

You wont get any comps playing poker, there is somewhat of an equation they use to factor these types of things. Mainly playing for extended periods of time. Such as, you are better off playing black jack at 25-50 dollars a bet for 2 or 3 hours VS making 1 bet of 1000. Its about your theoretical losses per hour (what they assume your going to lose an hour) There is a good thread on 2p2, ill try ot find it and link it

I certainly can't speak for all casinos, but in the Harrah's circuit (I believe it may be called Ceaser's Entertainment now) they scan your card when you sit down and log your time at the poker tables. You do earn points and offers (for the rake; like doc said, it's a theoretical amount they've gained from your play) though much more slowly than what you would gain from playing at any other table game. Still, with consistent play, you might be surprised at how many comp points and offers you can gain. Of course, it is a fraction of what you would earn playing anything else and if you don't go into it knowing that you would definitely be UNpleasantly surprised.

Just placed in another PO freeroll; that's 4 out of 5 now! Only two were actually in the top ten percent though. But both were deep, and that's good. I worked tonight, it was decent, but I had to get gas and food for the pups on the way home. (Those priorities again) I still manage to throw another $25 in the AC fund which should have brought me up to -$425. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, a loan payment that should have bee drafted out of my account on the 5th wasn't. It is only a $94 payment so I hadn't even added it into my debt. But if I hadn't caught it it would have gone against my credit score when the next payment came around. So. I've made the payment and have decided to go ahead and pay off the rest of the loan to make sure this doesn't happen again. (I only owe another $360 plus whatever interest is accrued with no penalty for early payoff. I'm gonna call it $400). So I'm up to -$825 (about $1600 to go) I probably wont make my original tentative date of the 9th, but that's why it was "tentative", and I'm not discouraged.

Well tghats good atleast u wont have as bad as beats on merge

[FrankWhite]

Well I'm 5 for 7 in tourneys now. Can't complain about that. Grinding is going well on bovada. Having a lot of bad luck on BCP. I've busted 3 times for a buck at the 1c/2c NL table. I know I'm playing well though, and while it's possible I doubt my luck will be that bad when I get to AC. Big weekend coming up tomorrow at work. We have an international jazz artist for coming and both nights are sold out. Hopefully, Ill get this loan paid of in two shifts. That would be nice. ::fingers crossed::

You will never earn a free room at most Casinos playing poker they just done give you a high enough rate, play pit games and bumb your bets when the floor comes around also it doest hurt to caht a supervisor up ie floor or pit they are prolly bored and can be convinced easily. ps i have worked in the gaming industry for over 10 yrs

although it seems you have no reason to be optimistic I applaud you for remaining positive

I didn't hit my goal of paying off my loan this weekend but I managed to put $250 towards it. I picked up an extra shift tomorrow. Could be good, could be a waste of time. Gonna try to win some more money in the BCP fr's tonight and try to take another shot at the 1c/2c table. Current AC fund - (-$650)

[FrankWhite]

Well I busted out of my last two BCP tournies and a Carbon tourney. Partly because I was playing too loose. Partly because I lost to big pots to a one-out, and a three-out river. That makes me 5 for 10 now. I've stopped playing in the Bovada freerolls because I've gotten my stack up over $60 and I'm busy playing that money. I may play some more BCP freerolls, but I'm gonna take a break and grind my bovada stack for a while. I ended up not going into work tonight. I've got a cold and they didn't really need me there. My next shift is Wednesday but we have a decent snow storm coming our way Tuesday night and I live way out in the country so I probably won't make it. Hopefully next weekend will be good and I'll finally get my W-2's. Current AC fund - still -$650.
