Drinking tonight and playing poker.

I was seriously doing the poker thing, trying to actually make money at it. Then I realized thatyou really need money to make money. If you want any kind of steady income, you need a bankroll of at least $10,000 or so to start with, just to pad out the rough times and to ensure you can keep playing. With a banroll of, say, $50, I could make $100 a week or so, but that took like 25-30 hours. At that rate I might as well get a second job. But if I had had enough money to raise my stakes, I could have been making $2000 a week. This is why you see people like Paul Phillips on TV, who have already made a bunch of money; they can finance their poker playing. I just don't have the bakroll to do it... so it's kind of a catch-22. I quit taking it so seriously and focused on my real obligations.
you guys play mostly online or take your friends money??????......I do alot better online than against my cheater friends....LOL
I play online. I make money much quicker that way. Somedays, the $50 I start out with turns into $100 within 20 mins. You just got to play the right hands at the right times and try to only win one big pot an hour. Don't give anything away.
the ability to gamble with real money from home can be a seriously bad situation to those with gambling problems. i have never gambled money because i fear my addictive personality would run with it. i pretty much systematically play any game i get my hands on until i beat it, restarting as many times as necessary...for hours and hours, like a madman. perhaps we all do this, but as far as i know this makes me someone who is at risk of ruining his whole stockpile of loose quarters and pennies from the couch if i were to get caught up in a gambling run.
I lost about a $100 last week playing blackjack. I know it isn't poker, but it is a gambling card game. I have yet to play Hold em with real money.
Damn, I need to get my ass into the poker scene. I love poker and have always dreamt of starting my own old-western style card house. It would rule. I might do that one day, that is, if my writing career doesn't work out.
Where do you guys play online?

sorry he hasn't posted. Some of us got together with Stan and had ourselves a good old fashioned intervention, Stan is now doing a short stint at the Betty Ford clinic, but on the bright side he has become good friends with Courtney Love and Robert Downey Jr. Progress is also coming at a good pace for Stan, just today he beat a speed freak at horseshoe's
is sandra bullock there? are they filming 28 days later? not the zombie movie but the one where sandra bullock ends up going back to therapy cause after that movie her career was over and ms. congeniality 2 looked like the only way to go but it bombed like most of her films after speed with that charming reeves boy ok so maybe practical magic was good but i never really got into the whole "wow a witch movie" thing that was so popular back in the nineties.
oh yes. and the net. sandra bullock you rock. :emoticon:
